Celebrating Suffrage: More than the 19th Amendment
In October 2020, the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office, Arizona Capitol Museum, and Arizona State Library and Archives presented “Celebrating Suffrage: More than the 19th Amendment,” a virtual program commemorating the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment and recognizing the evolution of Arizona women’s voting rights and their election to public office.
The series kicked off with the State of Arizona Research Library’s Arizona Author Series featuring historian Heidi Osselaer who presented on Arizona’s suffrage movement. It was followed by a behind-the-scenes tour of the Polly Rosenbaum Archives and History Building. Staff from the museum, library, and archives shared collections relating to Arizona suffrage and women in politics, as well as some of the steps taken to preserve the priceless materials.
