Miller NAWSA Suffrage Scrapbooks, 1897-1911
The Elizabeth Smith Miller and Anne Fitzhugh Miller scrapbooks are a part of the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) Collection in the Rare Book and Special Collections Division. These scrapbooks document the activities of the Geneva Political Equality Club, which the Millers founded in 1897, as well as efforts at the state, national, and international levels to win the vote for women. This scrapbooks are proves that not only were treated unfairly ways back, but also they begun to fight their rights for ever.
This books are important because it shows that civil right movements did not start just yesterday or out of blue, but in 1800’s and till we still have some activists that are fighting for equal wages between men and women or equal job opportunities for everyone.
