Suffrage Farmers to Aid Government in Event of Strife
The National American Woman Suffrage Association launches a suffrage agriculture program in Pennsylvania and nationwide to mobilize women in gardening and farming for national food supply efforts in peace or war. The plan includes uniformed suffrage farmers, local garden initiatives, canning centers, and agricultural lectures, with enrollment beginning after the Harrisburg conference on April 18. An estimated 1.8 million women are already engaged in farming related roles.
