An American suttraaette.

An American Suffragette is the first
attempt 70 novelize the movement for
woman suffrage which is sweeping
over the country. The story deals
with heroine who becomes great
lawyer without losing any of the
charm OF femininity and hero who
spiritualizes the orthodox method of
practice and still holds TO the thor
oughness OF science. The thrill is
provided by mysterious murder and
both the victim and the perpetrator
OF the deed are products Of false
and degrading environment. The need
OF the influence of women in the
cause of good government furnishes
the strong theme Of the story.
