One map entitled "The Map Proves it" published circa 1919. This map illustrates the United States with different shading and colorizations of each state. The patterns and colors illustrate the status of the states in regards to women's suffrage. White states had full women's suffrage. Shaded states had partial women's suffrage. Dotted states had presidential, partial county and state women's suffrage. Black states have no women's suffrage. There are also colored stickers on some of the states with dates. A few states have been updated with shading or black underneath a white paper cut to fit the state pasted on top.

The date was determined by colored notes pasted on some states with dates from 1919.
