    Description

    1940 Industrial Map of The State of Washington, Belle Reeves, Secretary of State
    This is a great pictorial map of the State of Washington during the early 1940's when Belle Reeves was Secretary of State. The map was prepared and produced by the State for use by school children. This version is an extremely rare larger format of this map. Most that have been available on the market appear to be about a quarter of the size (approximately 13' x 9").From historylink.org:"Belle Reeves was Washington's eighth Secretary of State, second woman to hold statewide elective office, and first female Secretary of State. Several times in her 10-year tenure, she was acting governor when the governor and lieutenant governor were simultaneously out of the state, another first for a woman. As a Democratic member from Chelan County, she served 16 years in the House of Representatives before her appointment at the age of 63 to the state office by Governor Clarence D. Martin (1884-1955). Although she bridled when referred to as "Mr. Secretary," she was no firebrand or outspoken suffragist, the ground she broke for women in Washington state was without public rhetoric."https://www.historylink.org/File/8938
