Woman Suffrage Postcard/National Museum of American History

Some postcards used images of children to project a nonthreatening image of women voters.
The National American Woman Suffrage Association began a postcard campaign in 1910, partly to raise awareness of the cause and partly as a fundraiser. The cards could be funny, serious, or sentimental. Some employed powerful patriotic symbols and logical arguments to make their case for woman’s right to vote.
