Jus Suffragii

Jus Suffragii was the official journal of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance, published monthly from 1906 to 1924.

[3] During World War I, Jus Suffragii was edited by Mary Sheepshanks, whose pacifist and feminist direction of the journal caused significant controversy.

The journal was openly criticised by several suffragist leaders, including the president of the IWSA itself, for abandoning its original focus on women's voting rights and launching "an active pacifist campaign".

[3] By the end of the war in 1919, however, Sheepshanks and Jus Suffragii received messages of gratitude and praise from around the world.

[3] Sheepshanks stepped down as editor in 1920 and the journal ceased publication in 1924, when it was replaced by International Women's News as the IWSA's official periodical.
