Mattie B. Hale of La Crosse, Rush County, wrote this letter to Lucy Johnston, president of the Kansas Federation of Women's Clubs, informing her of what was decided during the last district meeting. Hale was proud to announce that club women were eager to support women's suffrage. Women in Kansas would gain full suffrage in 1912.
Creator: Hale, Mattie B.
Date: 1911
This letter draws a connection between the women's club movement and the suffrage movement, illustrating how club women were also leaders in the fight for universal suffrage. This document would consequently be useful in class discussions about what kinds of women supported suffrage, and it could be grouped with a variety of other sources relating to the Kansas Federation of Women's Clubs.
