Article clipping on Suffrage in the territory of Washington titled , "Woman Suffrage Safe " from the E . Tannatt Scrapbook , ca. 1883
Subject
Women suffrage--Washington (state)--Politics and government ; Scrapbook
Description
This editorial discusses the decision made by a judge in eastern Washington which made all statures and amendments without the subject of the act within the title void . It was widely believed that this decision would reverse the 1883 legislation which granted women full voting rights , much to the pleasure of male opponents . The author discusses a re-analysis of the decisions which ensures the safety of women's suffrage , and chastises their opponents for early celebration . In an ironic reversal the author states , "Men of Washington--that is the few of you who have been gloating over this prospective injustice--don't you feel that you have been a little previous ? And aren't you afraid that the women will remember your ill-disguised glee at the prospect of their being again reduced to political serfdom? "
