2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment when women won the right to vote. This presentation by Ann Luther and Sheila Kirby celebrates that historic victory and the women who led the effort, while also providing a sober reflection on the compromises that split the movement and left many voters behind, choices that continue to echo 100 years later. The talk will end with a brief overview of the work that remains to be done.
