Why Women Want to Vote
Women Are Citizens
And Wish To Do Their Civic Duty
Working women need the ballot to regulate conditions under which they work.
Do working MEN think they can protect themselves without the right to vote?
Housekeepers need the ballot to regulate the sanitary conditions under which they and their families must live.
Do MEN think they can get what is needed for their district unless they can vote for the men that will get it for them?
Mothers need the ballot to regulate the moral conditions under which their children must be brought up.
Do MEN think they can fight against vicious conditions that are threatening their children unless they can vote for the men that run the district?
Teachers need the ballot to secure just wages and to influence the management of the public schools.
Business women need the ballot to secure for themselves a fair opportunity in their business.
Do business MEN think they could protect themselves against adverse legislation without the right to vote?
Tax paying women need the ballot to protect their property.
Do not MEN know that “Taxation without representation” is tyranny?
All women need the ballot because they are concerned equally with men in good and bad government; and equally responsibly for civic righteousness.
All men need women’s help to build a better and juster government, and Women need Men to help them secure their right to fulfill their civic duties.
