Planning their Campaign

Stanton, Elizabeth C. "Planning their Campaign." The New York Times, 28 Apr. 1894. Accessed 10 Dec. 2016.


This is an article featured in the New York Times written by Stanton.  The focus Stanton takes is on the growing efforts of women in Brooklyn in support of the suffrage movement.  Stanton discusses the focus of the women’s’ efforts was to draw more support for their cause, and share an account of recent efforts and successes.  She discusses how the women in Brooklyn fighting for suffrage are women married to important men of the city and government, and therefore, this is a movement worth supporting.  The discussion Stanton has in her article supports the research on historical account of state-by-state legislation reform the NAWSA focused on after forming a few years previous.  As a primary source, this is a very reliable account of what was actually happening during the turn of the 19th century.
