First delivered as an address to the American Woman Suffrage Association after several states had denied suffrage amendments. George Frisbie Hoar (1826 - 1904) reminds the audience of their victories and projects a positive future for the cause. Hoar says, ÒI believe that every step in human civilization has been marked by the nearer approach of woman to her just and equal place of influence in the StateÉEverywhere she has Ômoved with us to our good.Õ No nation, no city, no household, ever took a lofty place where the influence of woman did not inspire itÉÓ (p. 4). Includes letters from Chief Justice Greene of the Washington Territory and Governor Warren of the Wyoming Territory announcing the success of womenÕs suffrage in the west. 9 x 10 in Single sheet, folded. A couple chips to edges and some faint toning. A very good copy of a fragile, uncommon item. First edition. Printed at the offices of the WomanÕs Journal for the American Woman Suffrage Association. George Frisbie Hoar was a Massachusetts senator, a supporter of womenÕs suffrage, a regent of the Smithsonian Institution, and a president of the American Antiquarian Society. He also actively opposed United States imperialism, most notably through his presentation of theÊK ÊPetitions to Congress in 1897 to protest the annexation of Hawaii. The WomanÕs Journal also printed his address Woman Suffrage Essential to the True Republic, which he delivered at the annual meeting of the New England Woman Suffrage Association in 1873.
