December 3, 1913: From morning until night, an active, 12-hour workday for everyone here at the National American Woman Suffrage Association’s 45th annual convention.
is our daily recap of the major milestones and minor advancements that shaped women’s history in the U.S.—from suffrage to Shirley Chisholm and beyond. These posts were written by, and are presented in homage to, our late staff historian and archivist,December 3, 1913: From morning until night, an active, 12-hour workday for everyone here on the fifth day of the National American Woman Suffrage Association’s 45th annual convention.
Among today’s speakers were Reverend Anna Howard Shaw, Carrie Chapman Catt, Jane Addams and Ida Husted Harper; with Alva Belmont, Inez Milholland, Mary Ware Dennett and Alice Paul in the audience. Each speaker gave an excellent presentation showing why woman suffrage was now a movement of such national importance that it deserved its own permanent committee.
Jane Addams was peppered with questions by a House member from Georgia who believed that “altering the electorate” was not a proper subject for discussion in Congress. Addams then proceeded to give him ten examples of when Congress had done exactly that. A suggestion that “Woman Suffrage” be tacked on to the end of the name of the Committee on the Election of the President, Vice President and Representatives, was rejected by Reverend Shaw as well as the National American Woman Suffrage Association’s National Board. It is believed that the proposal for a new and separate committee which will deal only with woman suffrage now has majority support, and speculation that it might be established, then stacked with anti-suffragists is being discounted.
