Rebecca Naylor Hazard, founder of the Woman Suffrage Association of Missouri, wrote the lyrics to Give the Ballot to the Mothers in 1889, set to the tune of Marching through Georgia.
Bring the good old bugle, boys! We’ll sing another song. Sing it with a spirit that shall start the cause along. Sing it as we ought to sing it, cheerily and strong, giving the ballot to the mother. Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the jubilee! Hurrah! Hurrah! The homes, they shall be free! So we’ll sing the chorus from the mountains to the sea, giving ballot to the mothers.
Hazard went on to serve one term as the president of the American Woman Suffrage Association, which included both men and women in its advocacy for women’s right to vote.
This setting alludes to the many enthusiastic marches and rallies women of the late 1800s and early 1900s staged in their campaign to win the right to vote. Their struggle was long and difficult, sometimes resulting in violence, but their message was always hopeful and positive.
