Women's History · The Ballot, the Clubs, the Professions, and the Organizing This Ground Holds
Suffrage whole: the county frame, the editor, and the candidate the court ended
1851–1920 · THE COUNTY FRAME, WITH THE GRANGER TEST RUN AGAINST IT
Granger has no mayor, no council, and in the suffrage years no village organization — so this item's true-size form is the county movement whole, tested for any woman of this ground inside it: Indiana's movement opened in 1851…
