The women’s suffrage movement was a decades-long fight to win the right to vote for women in the United States. Starting with the Seneca Falls convention of 1848 it took activists and reformers nearly 100 years to win that right, and the campaign was not easy. But on August 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was finally ratified, enfranchising all American women and declaring for the first time that they, like men, deserve all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. Come and join us for this 8 week class where we delve into the different aspects of the movement and meet the amazing people who made it possible. 

This class will be taught through recorded lectures and may also include supplemental videos (Youtube), readings, worksheets, and activities (recipes, movies, dioramas, experiments, etc.). Please see the syllabus below for a layout of the lessons included in this course.
