Your vote and how to use it by Gertrude Foster Brown
"Your Vote and How to Use It" by Mrs. Raymond Brown is a guidebook on civics and political participation written in the early 20th century. The book serves as an educational resource for women, particularly in light of the recent expansion of suffrage, emphasizing the importance of understanding government systems to exercise their newfound voting rights effectively. Through a clear and structured approach, it outlines various aspects of government and political processes
to help women become informed and responsible citizens. At the start of the work, the author positions the context of women's suffrage within the broader landscape of civic responsibility, highlighting how crucial it is for women to understand politics as it pertains to their daily lives. The foreword by Carrie Chapman Catt underscores a call for women to treat their voting rights with dignity and to embrace their integral role in shaping democracy. The opening chapters begin with discussions around the responsibilities of government, the relationship between politics and women's interests, and how government impacts the family, health, and safety—all framed to spur women into an active engagement with their rights and duties as voters.
