  • Celebrating Suffrage: More than the 19th Amendment

Celebrating Suffrage: More than the 19th Amendment

2020 marked the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which recognized women's right to vote. The following resources are intended to support ongoing education about women’s suffrage in Arizona and throughout the United States.

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.

 
 
This program was made possible in part by a grant from Arizona Humanities in conjunction with the Voices and Votes: Democracy in America exhibit. Voices and Votes: Democracy in America is part of the Museum on Main Street, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and state humanities councils. Support for Museum on Main Street has been provided by the United States Congress. Learn more at www.museumonmainstreet.org
 
This program is supported by the Arizona State Library, Archives & Public Records, a division of the Secretary of State, with federal funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
