About This Item
Chicago: The Civics Society, (1913 -1914). First edition. Complete in 13 volumes including an apparently unrecorded volume titled on the spine "Sample Pages" which probably preceded the other 12 volumes. Small octavos (7.75" x 5.25") 3,189 pp, including illustrations, continuously paginated excepting the Sample Pages volume (which is erratically paginated). Original gray stiff paper wraps with yapped edges, each volume with illustration from a woodcut or linocut on the upper cover depicting Ella Buchanan's most famous sculpture, "The Suffragist Trying to Arouse Her Sisters."
Several nicks & small losses along the yapped edges, wraps lightly soiled & toned, easily very good or better.
Comprising, in addition to the Sample Pages volume:
Political Science by Jesse Macy (vol 1 - 3); Practical Politics by Ford H. MacGregor (vol 4 - 6); Woman Suffrage by Carrie Chapman Catt & others (vol 7); Woman & the Law by W.W Willoughby & others (vol 8); Woman & the Larger Citizenship by Jane Addams & others (vol 9 -11); The Woman Citizen & the Home by Margaret J. Evans & others (vol 12)

By 1913, with women's suffrage again in sight, at least one professor—Social Gospel star Shailer Mathews—tried to craft a portable guide by women and for women outlining how they might protest, vote, and change the world To the mind of a public intellectual like Mathews, printing "The Woman Citizen's Library" in a dozen illustrated volumes made sense for modern readers His quasi-academic subtitle was ambitious: A Systematic Course of Reading in Preparation for the Larger Citizenship Mathews' Library, though, was far from quiet It's a compact archive of women citizens responding to social pressures and cultural concerns with big ideas …"
