In 1874 Michigan was the point of interest to all those who had taken part in the woman-suffrage movement.

The legislature, by a very large majority, submitted to a vote of the electors an amendment of the Constitution, in favor of striking out the word "male" and thus securing civil and political rights to the women of the State.
