Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Handbook for the Women Voters of Illinois The purpose of this Handbook should be clearly understood. It has been prepared in the hope that it may be of service to the women of Illinois in preparing for the exercise of their new political power. Its preparation was begun at the request of a committee of the Woman´s City Club of Chicago. Help and generous co-operation have been given by members of the Illinois Equal Suffrage Association. It was at first intended to publish the Handbook under the auspices of a joint committee representing these two organizations, and acknowledgments are made especially to Miss S. Grace Nicholes and to Mrs. Florence Bennett Peterson, members of that committee. The original plan was to prepare a brief outline of government with citations of authorities, and it was hoped that such an outline might serve as a basis for discussions of governmental action which would interpret to women the significance of their enfranchisement. With the organization of numerous classes in civics for women voters, it became evident that effective interpretation must be preceded by an exact knowledge of structure, and our plan was necessarily enlarged. The Handbook, therefore, describes the structure of government as authorized and determined by the constitution, statutes and ordinances under which we live. It neither criticizes nor discusses on the basis of efficiency, nor does it, as has been said, interpret. Criticism and suggested changes in accordance with principles of efficiency can, we believe, be soundly based only on a reasonably wide and exact knowledge of the facts included in the following chapters. The book then differs from most handbooks. It is simpler than some, and not so simple as others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
