National Woman’s Party Index Card for Senator John W. Weeks (R-MA), 1913

Maud Younger and other National Woman’s Party lobbyists meticulously documented every detail of members’ “Suffrage Record in Congress,” along with other daily routines on small index cards. If a senator claimed his constituents did not support the amendment, Younger coordinated letter-writing campaigns in his home state. If a senator was known to arrive at his office at 7:30 a.m., Younger had a lobbyist waiting outside his office at 7:29.
