An important publication by the National Woman Suffrage and Educational Committee, published in Hartford just after the group's national convention in Washington, D.C., and ahead of the group's next national convention on May 11, 1871, in New York City. The text boldly "calls upon all women who love their children and their country" to take up the cause of suffrage, asserting: "This is pre-eminently the birth-day of womanhood." The main thrust of the text argues for women's suffrage on a Constitutional basis, asserting that women were already granted full citizenship and the right to vote under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. The authors call for women to assert their right to vote by going to the polls and, if necessary, by suing in court. This last point was a strategy developed by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and other suffragists to seek remedy for the right to vote through the judicial system, a strategy that came to be known as the "New Departure." The National Woman Suffrage and Educational Committee was formed, in large part, to carry out this new strategy. The present text calls for "some test case be brought upon full consultation with the National Committee, that the ablest counsel may be employed and the expenses paid out of the public fund." The most notable test case of the New Departure came the next year, when Susan B. Anthony registered to vote in Rochester, New York and then cast a ballot in the 1872 presidential election. She was arrested for her "crime," and the resulting trial saw Anthony convicted of illegally voting, for which she was ordered to pay a $100 fine. Anthony never paid the fine, nor was she ever penalized further for refusing to do so. The text also prints the group's "Declaration and Pledge of the Women of the United States concerning their Right to and their Use of the Elective Franchise," which was adopted at their first national convention in January 1871. The declaration reads, in part: "We, the undersigned, believing that the sacred rights and privileges of citizenship in this Republic were guaranteed to us by the original Constitution, and that these rights are confirmed and more clearly established by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, so that we can no longer refuse solemn responsibilities thereof, do hereby pledge ourselves to accept the duties of the franchise in our several States, so soon as all legal restrictions are removed." The text continues by reporting the creation of the board of the National Woman Suffrage and Educational Committee, with an office in Washington, D.C., "proposed to make the centre of all action upon Congress and the country," and a call to distribute "thousands and thousaads [sic] more" suffrage-related publications across the country. The text ends with a fundraising call, specifically for women to send in their names, recorded by the secretary in a Pledge Book, and suggested donations of $1, along with a request for donations to establish a printing fund, to publish "a series of tracts on subjects vitally affecting the welfare of the country." The text is dated April 19, 1871, and signed in print at the end by the officers and notable members of the National Woman Suffrage and Educational Committee. These include Isabella Beecher Hooker (president), Josephine S. Griffing (secretary), Mary B. Bowen (treasurer), Paulina Wright Davis, Ruth Carr Denison, and Susan B. Anthony. A fundamental document in the women's suffrage movement. KRICHMAR 1866. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, et al., eds., History of Woman Suffrage, Volume 2 (New York, 1882), p.485. 4pp. on a single folded quarto sheet. Light edge wear. Near fine.

Rare copy of the Report of the Executive Committee for the second annual meeting of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association (CWSA), founded just one year before, on October 28, 1869. Submitted and signed in type by the co-founder and chairman [sic] of the executive committee, Isabella Beecher Hooker, this report provides updates on the progress of the suffrage movement, both in Connecticut and nationwide. Also included are updates on movements in Great Britain and Europe, including a brief list of prominent figures in Britain supporting women's suffrage. There are excerpts from notable speeches and articles by John Stuart Mill, Francis W. Newman, and the reproduction of a letter from J.H. Howe, chief justice of Wyoming Territory, to Myra Bradwell, prominent Chicago lawyer and suffrage activist, explaining (despite his initial reservations) the success Wyoming courts have had in impaneling women as jurors (as part of the founding documents, Wyoming Territory granted suffrage to white women for all elections). The women's suffrage movement in America started gaining real strength in the 1840s with the first women's rights convention, the Seneca Falls Convention, convened in 1848. But the years leading up to the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment grew the movement substantially. Lucretia Mott, Lucy Stone, Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and others formed the American Equal Rights Association (AERA) in 1866 "to secure Equal Rights to all American citizens, especially the right of suffrage, irrespective of race, color or sex." Yet, in the final proposal, the Fifteenth Amendment prohibited the federal government and each state from denying a citizen the right to vote based only on that citizen's "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." Anthony and Stanton opposed the amendment unless it was accompanied by a Sixteenth Amendment that would guarantee suffrage for women; Stone, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, and Julia Ward Howe supported it and feared that it would not win congressional approval if it included women's suffrage. And so, in 1869 they split into the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) led by Anthony and Stanton; and the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA) led by Stone, Howe, and Harper. The Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), established in 1873, also pursued women's suffrage, providing additional support for the movement overall. State, territorial, and city suffrage movements also expanded. While national bodies were important voices for suffrage, they recognized that suffrage would only be obtained through grassroots work at the regional and state levels. Accordingly, Isabella Beecher Hooker and Frances Ellen Burr founded the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association in 1869 at a meeting attended by Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and William Lloyd Garrison. As Hooker writes: "It becomes more and more evident that as a political measure, our main reliance must be upon the action of Congress passing an amendment to the Federal Constitution. On this account we urge every member of the Society to keep on hand forms of petition that they may obtain signatures from time to time, and return them to the Secretary as soon as filled. Of the importance of flooding Congress with these petitions from all parts of the country, no one can doubt." Partnering with the NWSA, the CWSA focused on women's suffrage at the local level, and although Connecticut did not vote in favor of women's suffrage until the Nineteenth Amendment had already passed in Congress, the CWSA was able to gain small victories towards women's suffrage, such as earning women the right to formally vote on local matters like school and library expenditures. Isabella Beecher Hooker (18221907) was born in Litchfield, Connecticut, daughter of Lyman Beecher and half-sister of Harriet Beecher Stowe. Her broad career as a suffrage activist included participating in the founding of the New England Women Suffrage Association, and petitioning the Connecticut General Assembly with a bill that extended property rights to married women; the bill was initially rejected, but she reintroduced it every year until it passed in 1877. She toured widely, speaking on women's suffrage and women's rights in general, such as adding female police officers across the country; she followed Victoria Woodhull in testifying before the House Judiciary Committee in 1871, the first time women addressed a House committee.

8vo. 24 pp. Self-printed softcovers, sewn at spine (slight age toning, very slight dustsoiling), still NF copy. First edition of the second scarce Women's Suffrage tract published by the pioneering Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association (CWSA) in 1871, subsequent to their second Annual Meeting held in 1870. This tract features the extended letter to Chicago, IL suffragette, and editor, Myra Bradwell from Judge Howe of Wyoming, detailing women serving as jurors on a murder trial jury after the passage of the Wyoming Territory's 1869 Suffrage Act, and that they discharged their duties with skill, and also refutes the spurious claims that the men and women jurors had been improperly sequestered together for 4 days and nights. Following the publication of this tract, Howe was replaced as a judge in the First District by Joseph Fisher, a Union Army veteran who refused to recognize women being in the jury pool, or allowed to set on juries, even though they did have the right to vote. Isabella has also incorporated suffrage reports from the National Society for Woman Suffrage in England, including specific mentions of petitions before Parliament in 1869 & 1870 on the admission of women to the suffrage by Lydia E. Becker, along with excerpts of speeches by Mill delivered to the London Society of Woman Suffrage.Hooker closes with a report on a proposal by the Executive Committee to send women to meet with small local committees to "obtain signatures to the petitions for a 16th Amendment, and to circulate tracts on the subject of Equal Suffrage."

Condition: Fine. First Edition. 4 pp. Self-wrappers. First edition. Fine. An announcement by famous feminist Susan B. Anthony and five other suffragettes of the formation of a National Woman Suffrage and Educational Committee, and their intent to pursue recognition of voting rights for women under the 14th and 15th amendments. These were recent amendments (around three and one years old, respectively) but this salvo relies on them heavily, as well as on a taxation-without-representation argument harking back to the origins of the republic. In 1875 the Supreme Court would close the door on this line of thinking and suffragettes would have to change strategies, but this leaflet proceeds all that; it's still heady with fresh ideas and a brand new organization appealing for funds and women's names for a pledge book compiled by the NWSEC Secretary. A rare document of a brief glimmer of optimism in what would be a long, hard slog-- the struggle for equal rights-- in excellent condition.

Condition: Near Fine. First edition. Tracts of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association No. 2. Original printed self-wraps stitched at spine. 24 pages. Toning to front wrap; light chipping to outer edge of rear wrap and a small split at lower joint holding well. Signed in type on the rear by Isabella Beecher Hooker, in her capacity as chair. A critical organ of this influential state organization, the present Annual Meeting and Executive Report reports on what was only the group's second meeting after its founding one year before. Scarce in trade and institutionally, with OCLC reporting 8 known copies. Nationally, 1870-1871 were landmark years for the women's movement because of both the successes and failures it encountered. Suffragists faced major disappointment in the 15th Amendment; for while it widened the franchise to include freedmen, it did not address women's voting. At the same time, in the territories, women's rights were expanding; and Utah Territory became the first to grant suffrage to women. The National Woman Suffrage Association continued to operate as a unifying agent for the suffrage message, but it also recognized that it could only accomplish its mission through grassroots work at the regional and state levels. Only by getting state suffrage and by gaining Congressmen's support could an Amendment be presented and ratified. During this same period, Isabella Beecher Hooker and Frances Ellen Burr founded the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association. Much like the NWSA, the CWSA advocated women's suffrage alongside other equality issues, including employment and education. While the CWSA began small, focusing on campaigning for women's suffrage on a local level, it gained momentum under Hooker's guidance, becoming influential in the state and on the national state. The Annual Meeting and Report of the Executive Meeting inform members of the strides being made at this moment in history, urging suffragists to harness energy from these to charge ahead in the fight. It is a fight in which each state must advocate not as a separate entity, but as a part of a greater national whole. It is also a fight that will take practical and persistent action in addition to eloquence, as Hooker shows: "It becomes more and more evident that as a political measure, our main reliance must be upon the action of Congress passing an amendment to the Federal Constitution. On this account we urge every member of the Society to keep on hand forms of petition that they may obtain signatures from time to time, and return them to the Secretary as soon as filled. Of the importance of flooding Congress with these petitions from all parts of the country, no one can doubt." Near Fine.
