Belle Case La Follette is shown speaking in support of woman suffrage at Blue Mounds, Wisconsin, during the 1912 presidential campaign. La Follette, a lawyer and the wife of Wisconsin senator Robert M. La Follette, was a prominent advocate for women's voting rights and took part in suffrage work alongside her husband's political career. Campaign appearances like this one brought the suffrage question to rural audiences, who were often reached through open-air speeches rather than formal halls. The caption card behind the record is unverified, so the exact occasion and setting are best read as the card describes them.
