Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story of a Woman´s Municipal Campaign: By the Civic Club for School Reform; In the Seventh Ward of Philadelphia The early stages of each new form of political activity are always difficult of study, and every student has found this as true of the reform movement of yesterday, as of the beginnings of a national constitution a century old. The growing political activity of women is developing both in aim, canvass and organization, and women who come fresh to political work see some of the evils of politics with a clearer vision than those inured by use to abuse. In the Philadelphia municipal election of February, 1895, the Civic Club, a reform organization of women, began its work for school reform by endeavoring to secure the election of women as Ward School Directors. In the Seventh Ward, an active campaign and canvass were made by women for two women candidates, Mrs. Sophia Wells Royce Williams and Mrs. Eliza Butler Kirkbride. The following pages contain the reports laid before the Civic Club on this canvass, and submitted by it to the American Academy of Political and Social Science. They describe the personal experiences of the candidates, the method, means and personnel of organization, the character and conditions of ward political life, its vote and political organizations, the cause of failure and the path to ultimate success. These minute reports of a local ward struggle over a school office are printed as a permanent contribution to the political history of the day, because the record of one such contest throws light on all.
