Description
Leaflet from the Alabama Equal Suffrage Association refuting claims made in a published protest against the proposed "Woman Suffrage Bill," which would have allowed the voters to decide whether or not to enfranchise women in the state. The association argues that the suffragists' appeal to the state legislature proves that they are not trying to "break down State sovereignty, and centralize the power at Washington"; it also stresses that "Alabama women are not waging a fight for NEGRO suffrage...The women of Alabama are willing to answer the same requirements exacted of Alabama men as to morals, education, support of government, and patriotism. But an innate sense of fairness on the part of any honest person would rebel at sex being regarded a disqualification." The reply was issued in response to the following pamphlet: https://digital.archives.alabama.gov/digital/collection/voices/id/12333
