College women face suffrage debate at Barnard College
An afternoon at Barnard College explored why modern college women want voting rights. Mrs. Mary K Sim khovitch suggested fear of conspicuousness and laughter by men as a factor, while Mrs. Florence Kelley blamed vanity and class bias among the privileged. Kelley warned against anti suffrage arguments and condemned elitist attitudes toward enfranchising ignorant women. The event spurred a suffrage society led by Miss Juliet Points as president, with the Women’s Republican Association planning a Delmonico luncheon featuring speakers on social reconstruction and political outlooks.
