Ruth McCormick Smashes Through
Babcock, Frederic | April 23, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information that politician Ruth Hanna Mocormick's smashing success in the Illinois Senatorial primaries is being hailed as the greatest political victory ever won by a woman. It was indeed a triumph for feminine leadership, but it had many other significances. It indicates 1) that the West, led by its former State, is still anti-World Court and anti-League of Nations; 2) that it is still politically dry; 3) that it does not look with favor on many of the policies of the present national administration; 4) that it has made up its mind to crash through the sex barrier surrounding the Senate.
