Between the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848— where women initiated the fight for equal social, legal, and suffrage status—and the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920—when women won the right to vote, numerous regional and national suffrage publications disseminated women’s message: women were citizens and deserved equal treatment under the law.

The Suffragist, a weekly newspaper conceived by Alice Paul of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage, launched on Nov. 15, 1913 to lead the charge for an amendment enfranchising women. The newspaper informed women of current political maneuverings, how to support the cause financially, and how to volunteer their time.

The Suffragist ceased publication upon the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment.
