Uncommon woman suffrage paper from Syracuse...
Item # 700895
December 01, 1879
THE NATIONAL CITIZEN & BALLOT BOX, Syracuse, New York, December, 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; "National Woman Suffrage Convention lion - The National Woman Suffrage Asso'n. Will Hold Its 12th Annual Washington Convention at Lincoln Hall..." "Washington Convention" "A Southern Opinion on Woman's Rights" and more.
Four pages, tabloid-size, very nice condition.
