Votes for Women: A History of the Suffrage Movement
Sunday, February 16
2pm

American women earned the right to vote in presidential elections one hundred years ago. This program addresses questions regarding the lengthy process, such as: Who were the key players in New Hampshire - and the nation? What issues and obstacles did they face? How did suffragists benefit from World War I in the final push for passage of the women’s suffrage amendment? Who was left out when women got the right to vote?
Using historic photos and documents, Liz Tentarelli will discuss these questions and more, guiding us through this historic journey of Women's Rights.
This program is made possible by a grant from New Hampshire Humanities.
