An autographed copy of suffragist writing by Lilla Day Monroe. She writes that her intentions are to show "the 'bloody' seriousness of it all, smile now and then, and to enlist also the children on the side of mother." Monroe was a Kansas journalist who established and edited "The Club Woman" and "The Kansas Woman's Journal." As an editor, Monroe solicited reminiscences of pioneer life from Kansas women, receiving hundreds of responses. She organized these reminiscences into a collection and published many of them in the journal. She was also an active supporter of women's suffrage, being a member of the Kansas State Suffrage Association and serving as its president for several years.
