Women Suffrage in School Matters and Public Vote 1886
A correspondence column outlines Wisconsin law on woman suffrage in school matters, detailing sections of an 1855 act and the requirement for separate ballots at the general election. It notes the governor’s approval, publishing the result, and legislative transmission. The piece then shifts to various reflections on gender and society, including diary-like vignettes, sunshine, and the changing roles of women in urban and rural life.
