Alpha Suffrage Clubとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Alpha Suffrage Club is believed to be the first black women's suffrage association in the United States. It began in Chicago, Illinois in 1913 under the initiative of Ida B. Wells-Barnett and her white colleague, Belle Squire. The club had many achievements, and gained popularity within the African American community within Chicago. By 1916 the club had nearly 200 members; however political support for the group later burgeoned into the thousands. The club also published a newsletter, the Alpha Suffrage Record.
