Description: Speech to the Equal Suffrage Association to promote the right of women to vote and suggest means of accomplishing this by municipal, presidential or full suffrage. Touches on the point that there are more white women than black so allowing them the vote will not challenge white supremacy. Also includes a poem by Alice Duer Miller, a postscript and map that inform readers of the latest states that have given women presidential and full suffrage, a response by the Legislative Committee of the Equal Suffrage Association in 1917 to municipal suffrage, and census proof that there are more whites than blacks.
