The Wisconsin Historical Society Traveling Exhibit “We Stand on their Shoulders: A History of Wisconsin Women and Voting”, which explores women’s suffrage and leadership after the ratification of the 19th Amendment, will be at the Dexter Library on the Northland Campus from March 30 through April 12.
The 19th Amendment laid the groundwork to enfranchise women but did not extend voting rights to all. A series of additional legislation between 1920 and 1982 broadened opportunities for women of all races to vote. This exhibit explores the landmark legislation, political advancements of women from 1919-1982, and the continuing conversation surrounding voting rights.
More information to come.
