Social Justice Offerings 100th Anniversary of Women s Suffrage POWER, PRIVILEGE & THE VOTE: Focus on Women, Culture & Herstories of Suffrage (2020) Overview
Women vote today because of the women’s suffrage movement, a courageous and persistent political campaign which lasted over 72 years, involved tens of thousands of women and men, and resulted in enfranchising one-half of the citizens of the United States. If the history of the suffrage movement was better known, we would understand that democracy for the first 150 years in America included only half of the population. And we would realize that this situation changed only after the enormous efforts of American citizens in what remains one of the most remarkable and successful nonviolent efforts to change ingrained social attitudes and institutions in the modern era.
