Women's suffrage was a complicated and far-reaching event. Ethan Allen Homestead Museum, in partnership with League of Women Voters of Vermont, the Vermont Commission on Women, and Vermont Suffrage Centennial Alliance, invites the public to explore this topic in a new, four-part virtual symposium, Women's Suffrage: One Event, Many Perspectives.

Debuting at ethanallenhomestead.org/suffragesymposium live on Saturday, May 16th at 2 PM, and available as four on-demand videos afterward, Vermont-based presenters set the historical context and tell stories of the suffrage movement and its impact for Abenaki Women in Vermont, Native Americans in Federally Recognized Tribes, African American women, and in the role of education for women and girls.

Featuring symposium presenters: Melody Walker on "Navigating Freedom in Two Worlds"; Beverly Little Thunder with "On the Shoulders of our Ancestors and Mother Earth"; Kathryn Dungy on "…the courage of their convictions: African American Women in the Fight for Women's Suffrage"; and, Susan Ouellette on "Emma Willard, Women's Education, and the Campaign for Women's Suffrage."
