EARLY IDAHO SONGS OF THE MONTH - November 2010

 

Woman’s Rights(unknown songwriter, ca. 1896)  This humorous song about women’s suffrage was found in the U of I Special Collections.  It is not known to be specifically tied to Idaho, except perhaps through the noted Coeur d’Alene region suffragette May Arkwright Hutton (shown at right) and the fact that Idaho was the fourth state to give women the right to vote (in 1896).   We have been unable to find the song elsewhere. The rendition here is by Gary Eller.
