The Gee-Gee’s Mother Goose
Another Kansas publication, The Gee-Gee’s Mother Goose by Lilla Day Monroe is a collection of common nursery rhymes but re-written to incorporate pro-suffrage messages and ideas. For added interest in this 1912 publication, the rhymes are accompanied by related illustrations including scenes from “Three Blind Mice” and “Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater.”
