This drawing by noted illustrator Howard Pyle appeared in the magazine, Harper’s Weekly, in 1880, a Presidential election year. Suffrage leaders were actively trying to convince Democratic, Republican and Greenback Labor candidates to endorse woman suffrage. This illustration recalls the fact that women had once voted in New Jersey in 1800 and suggests a precedent for women’s demand. |
