Vassar Girls Held a Suffrage Meeting in Calvary Cemetery

Women--Suffrage

Vassar’s President Taylor refused to let the students meet on campus to discuss suffrage, so these students organized a lecture event in the cemetery that borders the northside of campus. It is recorded that “forty undergraduates, ten alumnae…” and guests from New York City came to speak. xDifferent speakers used different issues, such as trade unionism and social motherhood, to explain the need for Women’s Suffrage and more equal rights for women in general.
