	These two political campaigns of 1896 and 1911 were not the only ways women fought for their rights and challenged the myths about them. In California women also founded clubs to discuss these issues and mounted the city's lecterns to disprove the myths. They initiated lawsuits challenging professions and institutions that denied them access. They crafted bills to replace discriminating laws and guided their passage into law. It took determination, energy, patience and time to disprove many of these myths and to gain their rights.

	While many books about California politics exist, surprisingly few trace the politics of California women. In the nineteenth century, San Francisco was the seat of the California women's movement, which began in 1868. From that vigorous movement came two benchmark elections, in 1896 and 1911, when California men voted on a woman's suffrage amendment to the state constitution. Aside from Selina Solomons' first hand account, How We Won the Vote in 1911, there is not even one book about the two campaigns for woman's suffrage. Such an omission poorly serves an understanding and appreciation of the women's movement in San Francisco and the subsequent political history of California women.

	In addition to mounting two campaigns to win their right to vote, women also challenged certain cultural myths about them and their circumstances. Taken in those days not as myths, but as truths, these myths became arguments to further curtail women's rights in other areas. Myths became legal arguments to exclude women from entrance to an institution of learning or from engaging in certain professions. Other myths explain why women should not have the right to vote. These were the leading myths:		In addition to mounting two campaigns to win their right to vote, women also challenged certain cultural myths about them and their circumstances.
