December 12, 1912: The Suffrage Army, which will begin its march from NYC to the State Capital in Albany four days from now to lobby for putting a statewide suffrage referendum on the ballot, is growing rapidly!
is our daily recap of the major milestones and minor advancements that shaped women’s history in the U.S.—from suffrage to Shirley Chisholm and beyond.
In order to be sure that the public will remain aware of the marchers’ progress, “War Correspondents” will be sending daily dispatches to the headquarters of the Woman Suffrage Party where they will be read daily, and hopefully reprinted in the press. General Jones is presently upstate finalizing the route and scouting out bivouac areas in boarding houses and hotels where her troops can encamp along the line of march.
The army will have temporary reinforcements along the way, with a group of women led by Florence Maule Cooley escorting them through Putnam County. Elizabeth Freeman of Syracuse and Anna Congdon Etz of Hornell will each bring a detachment that will join up at some point between New York and Albany.
