Building A Coalition In California: The 1911 Campaign For Women's Suffrage, Kristina A. Cardinale
Building A Coalition In California: The 1911 Campaign For Women's Suffrage, Kristina A. Cardinale
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
Women in California gained the right to vote in 1911 after a mass-organized campaign across the state. Suffrage, labor, and temperance organizations were driving forces behind the women’s suffrage proposition passing and being amended to the state constitution. The women figureheads and membership of these associations were responsible for organizing politically and reaching across class lines in order to build a coalition for women’s suffrage in the state. This research serves as a compilation and analysis of the female-driven clubs, leadership, and strategies behind the Campaign of 1911.
