Moments of Reckoning in Campaign for Women's Voting Rights
Sunday, November 3rd at 4:30 p.m.
Celebrate your right to vote just before Election Day this year: join Vermont Suffrage Centennial Alliance (VSCA) at Moments of Reckoning in the Campaign for Women's Voting Rights on Sunday, November 3rd at 4:30 p.m. This FREE presentation and discussion takes place in The Classroom on the second floor of event co-host Main Street Landing Performing Arts Center in Burlington.
Middlebury College Professor of History Amy Morsman explores the complex perspectives and attitudes within the woman suffrage movement, showcasing points of convergence as well as moments of discord, when identity shaped suffragists' decisions about priorities, privilege, and the way to win the vote.
Middlebury College Professor of History Amy Morsman's work is focused on the historical evolution of gender roles, race relations, and regional differences. Assisted by students, she curated the "Votes . . . for Women?" exhibit at the College's Museum of Art, with vintage photographs, banners, and memorabilia, which she'll share, along with stories of all kinds of people who led, followed, and even opposed women's right to vote.
This event is one of many to commemorate next year's 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution presented by the Alliance, a statewide group of volunteers lead by the League of Women Voters.
