Title
Soldiers Club Conducted by New Jersey Women [sic] Suffrage Association, Wrightstown, NJ
Description
The New Jersey Woman Suffrage Association ingratiate itself with politicians and citizens alike by actively supporting the troops during the First World War. In October 1917, the organization began its major war-related project, a soldiers' club at the newly-opened Camp Dix training facility in Wrightstown, New Jersey. Local suffrage organizations took turns serving as hostesses at the club. Apparently, "the house was open for privates only and that any amount of homemade pies and cakes and coffee could be obtained at the clubhouse and that it was filled with every convenience for the comfort of the boys." Although the volunteers were told not to talk to the men about women's suffrage, the subject naturally came up. After all, the name New Jersey Woman Suffrage Association was prominently displayed on the clubhouse.
