Research Guides: Radcliffe College Suffrage: Published Materials

Published Materials

Publications from the college are a rich resource for learning about student life and activities as well as about the administration/leadership. Each publication can be keyword searched. Try for example: suffrage; anti-suffrage, civics club; Maud Wood Park, Inez Haynes (or Inez Gillmore Irwin), Harvard Suffrage League, etc.

Two titles in this list that are not Radcliffe publications, The Crimson and The Woman's Journal, should be consulted for their coverage of suffrage related matters at Radcliffe.

Other Periodicals

The Crimson
The Crimson is the Harvard student newspaper. This resource covers 1873-present. The Crimson pre-dates the Radcliffe student newspaper which did not begin until 1914 and is a good place to look for coverage of Radcliffe prior to the beginning of a Radcliffe student paper.
The Woman's Journal
The leading suffrage publication of its time the Woman's Journal was founded in 1870 as a weekly newspaper in Boston, Massachusetts, by Lucy Stone and her husband Henry Browne Blackwell. Daughter Alice Stone Blackwell served as editor of the paper and was invited by Park and Gillmore to speak to the Emanuel Club.
