- Reason
- I should probably mention right now that we're moving towards the hundredth anniversary of the passing of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution (which passed in 1920), so I'm trying to help us prepare to be a resource beforehand, since all those articles are about to become a lot more trafficked. So.. you know. ANYWAY! Emma Smith DeVoe was one of the big suffragettes in the western states, and one of the leaders of the campaign in Washington that got women there suffrage 10 years before the rest of the country (Suffrage more or less worked its way went west to east). So, important. The state of our articles are actually rather chaotic, by the way. Take Women's_suffrage_movement_in_Washington which is horribly incomplete, or Women's suffrage in states of the United States, which leaves out half the states. Well, as I said, it's a work in progress.
Anyway, my point, efore I got sidetrackked is this appears to be the best image of her, especially as the archives of the Library of Congress collect a lot of the suffrage movement organizations' archives. - Articles in which this image appears
