Woman Suffrage Centennial Web Exhibit
The words to a woman suffrage hymn written by Abigail Scott Duniway. The hymn was sung during a 78th birthday party for Duniway in Portland in 1912. Thousands attended the event, including Governor Oswald West, who asked Duniway to write out the Women’s Emancipation Proclamation in her own hand for history. The proclamation is now in the holdings of the Oregon State Archives. (University of Oregon Library)
