This postcard from our ephemera collection, sent by California suffragist Alice Locke Park to State Librarian James L. Gillis on May 9, 1912, features 6 stars, representing the only states that had granted women full suffrage by 1912: Wyoming (1869), Colorado (1893), Utah (1896), Idaho (1896), Washington (1910), and California (1911). Printed by the National American Woman Suffrage Association, the postcard reflects the desire to keep momentum going after California’s 1911 win by shifting the focus to Ohio's state suffrage amendment, which was ultimately defeated by male voters in both 1912 and 1914. Women in Ohio, along with millions of others nationwide, had to wait until the federal ratification of the 19th Amendment to finally gain the right to vote.
Date: May 9, 1912
