From The Indianapolis Star, Wednesday, November 3, 1920: Women voters were out in force for yesterday’s election long before male voters had fallen into line. The intense cold made standing in line an unpleasant task, but the women, some with babes in arms and children in tow, were too interested in casting their first vote to leave. Showing more interest in the election than men, women cast their ballots intelligently and quickly with neatness, dispatch, and enthusiasm. Some poll workers observed that most of the women had made their minds up before they started from home and they appeared to do little scratching. By noon in many precincts a majority of the registered women had voted, and by the close of the polls less than 5,000 of the 76,000 women registered in Marion County had failed to cast a ballot.
