Women voters advised on registering eligibility in Michigan
The article outlines how a wife's citizenship may be retained or restored through her husband’s naturalization or divorce. If the husband naturalizes after 1922, the wife can regain citizenship by taking out papers in her own name, sometimes without first papers. Divorced or widowed alien husbands restore a wife’s pre marriage citizenship upon resuming residence in the U S. Readers should determine their classification before applying to avoid delays in voter registration.
