Their motto in the masthead: "Equality Before The Law". This was the country's leading women's suffrage publication having begun in Beatrice, Nebraska, before moving to Washington, D.C.

As would be suspected the content is primarily focused on women's rights and suffrage.
Complete with 8 pages, a few small binding holes along the spine, nice condition.
background: The Woman's Tribune was a prominent newspaper published in Washington, D.C., primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which played a significant role in advocating for women’s rights and social reform. Founded by suffragist and journalist Clara Bewick Colby in 1883, the publication became a leading voice for the women’s suffrage movement, providing a platform for discussions on women's political, legal, and economic rights. In addition to advocating for the right to vote, the newspaper highlighted issues such as education, labor rights, and the broader social and economic inequalities faced by women. The Woman's Tribune was unique in its ability to connect local, national, and international suffrage activists, offering a network of support and shared ideas. It also played a key role in disseminating the work of leading suffragists like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, as well as providing a space for lesser-known voices within the movement. Through editorials, articles, and personal testimonies, the publication not only shaped public opinion but also actively contributed to the larger feminist discourse of the time. By the time it ceased publication in 1917, The Woman’s Tribune had made an indelible impact on the American women's suffrage movement, helping to pave the way for the eventual passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920.
