American Woman Suffrage Postcards : A Study and Catalog
By Kenneth Florey Published in 2015 by McFarland & Company Inc.


Just released - A beautiful collection of the "postcard day" campaigns


American women's suffrage activists were fascinated with suffrage themed postcards.


They Collected them, exchanged them, wrote about them, used them as fundraisers, and organized "postcard day" campaigns.


The cards they produced were imaginative and ideological, advancing, the argument for the enfranchisement of women, and responding to antisuffrage broadsides.


Commercial Publishers were also interested in Suffrage postcards, reconizing their profit potential.


Cataloging approximately 700 examples, this study examines the "visual rhetoric" of suffrage postcards in the context of the movement itself and as part of the general history postcards.
