Like other social causes, the suffrage movement provided inspiration
to a number of song writers, both women and men. While the vast
majority of the songs they wrote promoted suffrage, anti-suffrage
songs were not unusual. Most of the suffrage songs from the collections
of the Music Division date from the decade preceding the ratification
of the nineteenth Amendment in 1920. The collections also contain
some of the earliest examples of women's suffrage music dating from
the 1860s.
