Woman's Co-operation Essential to Pure Politics
Boston: American Woman Suffrage Association, [1885]. An address by Massachusetts Senator George Hoar in support of women’s suffrage. Hoar includes testimony from Gov. Warren of Wyoming and Chief Justice Greene of Washington on the benefits of establishing enfranchisement in those states. Hoar concludes:
“My friends, I believe that every step in human civilization has been worked by the nearer approach of woman to her just and equal place of influence in the State. I believe that every such approach has at the same time purified the home and rendered womanhood sweeter and more feminine. Everywhere she has ‘moved with us to our good’.”
The American Woman Suffrage Association was established in 1869, and in 1870, under the leadership of Lucy Stone, began publishing “The Woman’s Journal.” In 1890 the group merged with the National Woman Suffrage Association to form National American Woman Suffrage Association.
