- Title
- "Why Women Should Have the Vote" Flier
- Description
- Flier listing reasons why women should have the vote, including, "1. Because - They want it. 2. Because - Men do not want them to have it. 3. Because - The vote will bring trouble, and trouble is good for us and we ought to hunt it. 4. Because - 'The female of the species' is as able as the male. 5. Because - A government 'of the people, for the people, by half the people' is a libel; the 'better half' should surely vote. 6. Because - Why not? 7. Because - Just Because." The top left corner is missing, and the flier is of unknown provenance.
