The Crisis

Within this issue there is a key article about voting during the 1910s. Under the "Along The Colored Line" section, the magazine investigates the different policies of voting in varying areas of the United States, some of which involves gender. For example the article states, " The legislature of Delaware has apparently nullified the United States Constitution in the town of Georgetown by making qualified voters of every white MALE citizen of said town who shall have attained the age of 21 years and is a taxpayer." Here both women and colored people were not allowed to vote, which puts both social groups behind the same motive, the right to vote.

This magazine directly considers the concept of women suffrage and how it is affected by race. The President of the Women's Suffrage Movement, Anna Shaw, mentioned "Our association does not recognize either Negro blood or white blood; what we stand for is the demand for equal political rights for women with men, and we know no distinction of race." And throughout this issue there are other themes of inequality on both the concepts of gender and of race.
