"Americanization Service of the Suffragists", National Suffrage News
This article describes how the National American Woman Suffrage Association helped immigrants become better U.S. citizens by teaching them about American history, government, and values. One suffragette, Dr. Grace Raymond Hebard, led citizenship classes in Laramie, Wyoming, having students take exams to prove their knowledge. The program aimed to prepare immigrants not just to pass a test, but to understand and fully embrace American citizenship and democracy.
