Artifact Overview
Securing the right for women to vote in Michigan depended on persuading men to vote "yes" to amend the state constitution in the November 1918 election. Clara Ford, vice-chair of the Dearborn Township branch of the Equal Suffrage League of Wayne County, handed out literature, pins, and stickers during two open-air meetings at the Ford tractor plant that reportedly reached more than 7,000 attendees.
