Description

Women's Suffrage Movement Presented by Dr. Gary Hylander In recognition of International Women's Day on March 8, Dr. Gary Hylander, PhD will once again entertain and enlighten us with American history. Join us on March 8 at 2:30 p.m. as Dr. Hylander explores the journeys many had to take on their way to the ballot box. It took 72 years for women to win the right to vote, after suffragists first rallied at the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention. The battle was long, heart-felt, and sometimes bitter, but the 19th Amendment was finally ratified on August 18, 1920, in the wake of the Spanish Flu Pandemic.
