Celebrating the 19th Amendment: Suffragists in Print
Women’s Word; the struggle to get the vote.
From Abigail Adams to Zitkála-Šá, suffragists put their sentiments into print, stating their point of view. Formally organizing in the 1840s, they won the right to vote, state-by-state, with national ratification in 1920. This centennial exhibit of women writers, editors and publishers celebrates their decades of activism.
