"SHE is responsible" Is this BOLD repetition on the page related to oratorical style? It would be interesting to hear this document read aloud, incorporating all the emphases of the upper case letters and rhetorical breaks.

In case you want to take a look: The Woman Patriot, HathiTrust.org

"The Party of Lincoln." (Lincoln's death was only 51 years in the past in 1916.)

Compare this handbill with "Teachers Need the Vote!"

They both set up a repeated refrain.

I found this surprising. I would think using titles like Doctor and Professor would have been considered just as objectionable as Mr., Mrs., and Miss.

The Window of Y.W.A. was a publication of the Young Woman's Auxiliary; Woman's Missionary Union, Auxiliary to the Southern Baptist Convention.

Great opener

"Smothered. Murdered. Fallen." Very emotional
