Equal Suffrage And The Wage Gap In Chicago Teachers
Chicago grade teachers, faced with reduced salaries, funded an inquiry that found millions in untaxed property held by corporations. Taxing this property could restore former salary levels, but the teachers lack political power as they are nonvoters. The piece notes wage gaps between male and female teachers, the push by women to gain the ballot, and a gift by Mrs. Alice Hutchins Cable for a children’s hospital in Evanston. It also profiles women candidates and advocates, including Mrs. Carrie Thomas Alexander and Mrs. Clarence Burns, arguing the ballot strengthens women’s public influence.
