Votes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence Because of HER Story

A Series by The Smithsonian

March 2 – April 10

The story of women’s suffrage is a story of voting rights, of inclusion in and exclusion from the franchise, and of our civic development as a nation. Votes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence, a poster exhibition from the Smithsonian, celebrates over 100 years of the Nineteenth Amendment and explores the complexity of the women’s suffrage movement and the relevance of this history to Americans’ lives today.

This traveling exhibition aligns with ongoing efforts to commemorate the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States and invites visitors to reflect on its continued relevance in today’s world.
