Mayors of Illinois on Chicago Woman’s Suffrage
This pamphlet was created by Catharine Waugh McCulloch and was timed with the push for municipal suffrage in the City of Chicago in 1909. McCulloch published several collections of opinions on women’s suffrage. This little pamphlet includes some mayors who are not suffrage supporters – and it also includes a brief rebuttal of their views.
