Votes for Women a Success: North America Proves It (1917)

"A prototypical promotional map of the woman's suffrage movement in the U.S., using the spread of suffrage across North America to "prove" the "success" of votes for women. The use of maps like this to "brand" the suffrage movement effectively has been called "the most extensive use of a single iconic map image for persuasive purposes in the United States."."

"The suffrage movement, founded in 1848, had lost momentum by 1900. Only four states had given women the right to vote: Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Idaho."

"The suffrage map was so successful that ​the cost of reprinting ​it caused serious financial problems for the national movement, because every time a state granted additional voting rights for women, supporters demanded updated ​versions."
