4.9/5 (27072 ratings)

Description:A leader in the successful for women suffrage in Texas, Jane Yelvington McCallum (1878-1957) left an absorbing written record of an exceptionally productive life. Like thousands of other middle-class Texas women in the first decades of the twentieth century, McCallum was a wife, mother, and clubwoman; unlike most she was also a suffrage leader, lobbyist, journalist, publicist, Democratic Party worker, and secretary of state.A TEXAS SUFFRAGIST brings to print for the first time two of Jane McCallum's most important unpublished diaries, which cover the period form October 1916 through December 1919. They chronicle the struggle of Texas suffragists to win the vote from the viewpoint of one of the movement's most active participants, and provide insight into a range of progressive causes--including prohibition, honest government, and the independence and integrity of The University of Texas--that women reformers supported in the WWI era.Editor Janet Humphrey has supplemented McCallum's diaries with a selection of her letters, autobiographical fragments, and sketches that help round out the story of her personal and public life through 1919. The years of McCallum's life highlighted in this book mark the beginnings of her public career which lasted for decades.Janet Humphrey's two years of research have provided us with this first, rich portrait of a woman very much involved in a turbulent period in history.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
