Abstract

The Suffrage Postcard Project (SPP) <https://thesuffragepostcardproject.omeka.net> uses digital humanities methods to produce thematic analyses of its growing open-access digital archive of woman suffrage postcards. By developing a critical feminist digital humanities (DH) framework to explore the visual narratives that suffrage postcards produced during the 1900s and 1910s, especially in the United States and Britain, the SPP fosters critical approaches to feminist and transatlantic suffrage history and visual culture. It utilizes a range of digital tools, including Omeka and Python, to address the following research question: How can feminist digital humanities practices engender new visual historical narratives of the suffrage movement? Our aim is to better understand how gender and intersecting identity markers were deployed in suffrage postcards in ways that challenged, subverted, supported, and upheld hegemonic political structures.
