[WOMEN] REPORT OF THE PROCEEDINGS of the MOCK CONVENTION of the WOMEN'S NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CLUB Held at The WALDORF-ASTORIA HOTEL, New York City, Tuesday, April 24, 1928

New York: THE TENNY PRESS, 1928. Hardcover. Brown boards, brown cloth spine. Very good. 46 pages. 23.5 x 13.5 cm. This printed and bound report is both uplifting and humorous. The Women's National Republican Club put together this event because women had not had the opportunity to experience any presidential conventions up until this time. With the 19th Amendment some, not all, women had the chance to cast their vote and many women had become involved in a variety of movements before and after the 19th Amendment. Here, the Chairwoman, Lolitta Coffin Van Rensselaer, leads the women in a mock session of what it would be like if they were on the Convention floor. Throughout the proceedings, which range from deliberate to entertaining, the committee read reports, give speeches, recognize various contingencies, and votes. Two black and white photos display the group along with a separate photo of Mrs. J.G.M. Glessner, Delegate from New Hampshire. Pages lightly toned, otherwise clean. Boards rubbed at edges.
