Uncommon woman suffrage paper from Syracuse...



Item # 700893

October 01, 1879

THE NATIONAL CITIZEN & BALLOT BOX, Syracuse, New York, October, 1879  A quite rare women's suffrage newspaper that lasted less than 3 1/2 years under this title.
Mott notes in his "History Of American Magazines" that this publication was financed in part by Susan B. Anthony, and that having failed with The Woman's Campaign she: "...had better luck with the Ballot Box, of which she and Mrs. Stanton were associate editors. This journal was founded in Toledo, Ohio, by S. L. Williams...After two years, Mrs. Williams turned the paper over to Matilda Joslyn Gage, a leading suffragist, who moved it to Syracuse, New York, and called it the National Citizen and Ballot Box."
The dateline notes: "Corresponding Editors: Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony".
Articles include: "The History of Woman Suffrage From 1848 to 1877 With Its Preceding Causes" which is a continued article; "Woman Suffrage In Wyoming" which was the first state to allow woman to vote: 1870; "Woman Suffrage in New Jersey" "New College for Women in England" "The Woman Suffrage Campaign--State & Local Societies Organizing for 16th Amendment Work..." "The Woman's Protest" and more.
Four pages, tabloid-size, very nice condition.
