    Noted woman suffragist and civil rights activist Elisabeth Freeman (1876-1942) is the subject of an entire web site. Note the variant spelling of her first name used on the web site. Note that it does not extend to the site's url. What's up with that?

    The hike to Washington started in Newark N.J.. Elisabeth Freeman was among those who said that they would go the entire distance by foot (The day book., February 12, 1913, Image 24, "THEY'RE OFF IN A BUNCH". "... the famous "Votes for Women" wagon, which, with its yellow top bearing suitable inscriptions, won fame in the suffrage campaingn on Long Island... Mrs Elizabeth Freeman, garbed as a gypsy, will drive it on the march to the Capital. Miss Freeman will be the official speaker of the army ..." (NYT, February 12, 1913)

Suffragettes (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

    August, 1913: Before the Suffragette Caravan left New York for Boston, pulled by a balky horse that the ladies had named "Asquith," (after the British prime minister, who also had been balky in offering support to the cause of woman suffrage) the participants (three British suffragettes and Ida Craft, an American Salvation Army colonel, with tambourine) released several homing pigeons, whose flight back to Boston was supposed to precede and herald their own arrival in that city. Here is a contemporary newspaper clipping about the event: www.elizabethfreeman.org/PDF/suffrage/bostonPigeons_big.pdf Sign on wagon front says: BUY - ONLY - 5c WEEKLY THE - WOMEN'S - JOURNAL ALL - THE - LATEST - NEWS ON WOMAN'S - SUFFRAGE ______________________ Signs on side of wagon front: VOTES FOR WOMEN THE WOMAN'S JOURNAL -------- GIVE - WOMEN THE VOTE - QUICK
