JF Ptak Science Books Quick Post, Election Day
This piece of Suffragette music was published in the incredibly-named “Palace of Music”by W.W. Whitney in Toledo, Ohio in about 1869. For most intents and purposes the women’s vote movement was still in its first generation, and still five decades away from a national vote for women. The music and words were those of Frank Howard (not of the Baltimore Orioles, as this Mr. Howard was born in 1823).
