WOMAN'S NATIONAL WEEKLY, University City, St. Louis, April 18, 1914
* Women's suffrage movement
This weekly newspaper was the official publication of the "Woman's Republic", a membership fee-based organization established to help women learn about government and politics in preparation for the time when they would have the right to vote. It was modeled after the United States government. At their first convention in June 1912, members of the American Woman’s Republic ratified the Declaration of Equal Rights and adopted the Constitution. The capital was University City in St. Louis. Plans were made to create quarters for the Republic’s Supreme Court, Senate, and House of Representatives. Members became active in suffrage organizations. The Republic was intended to have remained a political force until women received the right to vote, but very little was heard about members or activities after 1916.
As would be imagined the content of this issue is focused primarily on suffrage & women's concerns and issues although there is other content as well.
Complete in 8 pages, some damp staining, some small tears at the margins, evenly toned.
