The A-B-C of Voting, July 1932

Summary

Arkansas ratified the 19th Amendment -- granting women the right to vote -- in 1919. More than a decade later, the Arkansas Federation of Women's Clubs -- hoping to increase voter participation -- published a pamphlet (reprinted in The Homemaker magazine) that provided women in Arkansas with the "fundamentals of voting." It explained who could vote and how to navigate the state's residency and poll tax requirements.
