How Did Elisabeth Freeman's Publicity Skills Promote Woman
Suffrage, Antilynching, and the Peace Movement, 1909-1919?
Abstract, Part 2 Elisabeth Freeman's life spanned decades of
remarkable change for women in American public life. Combining a
keen sense of social justice and an appreciation of the power of
spectacle and modern media in her organizing for woman suffrage,
racial justice, and peace, Freeman helped to bring these social
movements into the twentieth century. This second half of the
document project explores Freeman's activism in suffrage,
antilynching, Republican party politics, and the peace movement
between 1916 and 1919.
