- This map advocating the vote for women is one of two in the collection that were included in the printed text of speeches by Walter McKenzie Clark, Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court from 1903 to 1924. In December 2016, he spoke on "Ballots for Both" to the Equal Suffrage League of Greenville, NC. Appended to the printed versions of his talk was a suffrage map entitled "The Very Latest in Suffrage Maps (Don't Overlook Rhode Island)," ID #2014. And earlier, in January 1914, he gave an address entitled "Equal Suffrage" before the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia in Richmond. His printed remarks of that speech included a suffrage map entitled "The Map Proves It," ID #2514.
For details on the origin of the suffrage map and its critical importance in gaining the vote for women, see Notes for ID #1193 "Votes for Women a Success." For other examples of the suffrage map, Search > "Suffrage."
