  • Nevada Club Women and Suffrage
    NO POLITICS ALLOWED: NEVADA CLUB WOMEN AND SUFFRAGE ____________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University Dominguez Hills ____________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Humanities ____________ by Gail Duwe Summer 2018 This study is dedicated to the Club women in Reno, Nevada’s early Twentieth Century Club. Whether suffragists or antis, you stood out as strong-minded, articulate advocates for your cause. Diminished by history, it is time to recognize the indelible mark that members of early women’s Clubs left on the fabric of feminism. Early Twentieth Century Club member Miss Echo L. Loder left the following memorable note attached to the Club’s minutes from June 7, 1894 to April 30, 1897. This is a valuable book to preserve for future years when members have forgotten the history and want to look into the past. Mrs. Anna Wardin took care of the book for many years and handed it to me before she died. I feel that it will be safer to be kept in the steel locker in the basement of the Club house. Please keep it there? There always comes a time when people want to know the origins of organizations. A very much interested member, (Miss) Echo L. Loder ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank the extremely helpful staff of the Matthewson--IGT Knowledge Center, University of Nevada, Reno; University of California, Berkeley’s Bancroft Library; the California Historical Society; and, in particular, Karalea Clough and staff at the Nevada Historical Society.

And while you are in that cogitating mood, let us discuss together some of the things that are to be brought to you in the May number. They may help to lend more of balance to inrE your judgment. First of all there will be a story by Job Harriman. Many a magazine in these radical days would eagerly reach for the pages that come from his pen and The Western Comrade is particularly fortunate in securing for its second number a contribution on "The High Cost of Living and the Cost of High Living," written by this student and fighter of the Pacific Coast. What would you say if someone should come to you and say to you, "Come over the nation with me while we chat with its heroes?"

The NWHP has been encouraging people to celebrate women’s suffrage anniversaries for most of our 37 year history and we are proud to publish this first of several Gazettes cover- ing the Women’s Suffrage Centennial in 2020. Our goal is to restore suffragists and the Votes for Women movement to their rightful place in American history. Here we are pleased to present brief descrip- tions of major efforts now underway to observe the suffrage centennial throughout the country. There are an increasing number of projects and efforts at the local, state and national levels to remember American suffragists and honor their hard-won success. We also mention recent events that offer ideas and encouragement so you can TM join with others and do something special for 2020 where you live, study or work. One thing we want to emphasize is that suffragists were active in all the states, often for gen- erations, and all the states eventually ratified the 19th Amendment. However, few state activists are widely remembered and the state stories are barely known.

No effort has been spared to make The Western Comrade a magazine superior to all Socialist magazines. This has been done, not with a spirit of grasping competition, but with a spirit of loyalty to Socialist principles and a desire to give to the party and its members the very best possible propaganda and educational medium. The subscription list of The Western Comrade has grown from month to month and the indieations'are that it will grow faster in the future than it has in the past. And that is the point. Just what are you doing to help this splendid magazine in its efforts to help build the party? Have you secured just one new subscription? It may be that you have, and it may be that you haven't. If you haven't, the big thing to do is to take this copy and go straight to the best prospect you know of and get his or her subscription.
