In
1870 the American Woman Suffrage Association
founded its own magazine, the Women's
Journal. Edited by Lucy Stone,
it featured articles by members of the organizations and cartoons
by Blanche Ames, Lou
Rogers, Mary
Sigsbee, John
Sloan, John Bengough, Fredrikke
Palmer and Rollin Kirby.
Some of the regional groups also produced journals. The most significant
of these was the Woman
Voter that was produced in New York. Between 1910
and 1912 the journal was edited by Mary Ritter
Beard, who went on to become one of America's most important historians.
Ida Proper, who became art editor of
the Woman Voter
in 1912, had strong ties with New York's progressive groups
and was able to solicit work from outstanding artists such as John
Sloan, Mary Wilson Preston, James
Montgomery Flagg, Robert Minor, Clarence
Batchelor, Cornelia Barnes,
and Boardman Robinson.
