Belle Case La Follette is pictured speaking for woman suffrage in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin, a small village west of Madison, during the 1912 presidential campaign. A trained lawyer, she worked alongside her husband, Senator Robert M. La Follette, who was then seeking the Republican presidential nomination, and she used his campaign travels to make the case for women's voting rights. The national amendment granting that right was not ratified until 1920, so this rural stop shows how hard the cause was pressed well before it was won.
