Description

A yellowed, rectangular historical leaflet is centered against a dark background. The document features the large, bold, black heading "GIVE THE WOMEN OF CALIFORNIA A SQUARE DEAL." Below this, in slightly smaller bold text, it reads "THEY WANT THE BALLOT WHY?" followed by four bullet points starting with the word "BECAUSE," which list reasons related to representation and protection. Underneath these points are four short quotes attributed to Abraham Lincoln, Samuel Gompers, Judge Lindsay, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The bottom section contains a call to action in bold: "VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENT, GIVING WOMEN THE BALLOT SPECIAL ELECTION OCTOBER 10, 1911." Below this is the address "SAN JOSE SUFFRAGE HEADQUARTERS 30 WEST SAN FERNANDO STREET, SAN JOSE TELEPHONE SAN JOSE 1600."
