The Vermont Suffrage Centennial Alliance, a project of the League of Women Voters of Vermont Education Fund, invites you to "Votes for All Women: Patience, Persistence, and Politics," a free virtual event taking place on Tuesday August 18th, at 7 PM. featuring Dr. Meg Mott, Professor of Politics Emeritus of Marlboro College.

Tuesday August 18 is THE DAY that the state of Tennessee became the 36th and final state to ratify the 19th Amendment 100 years ago, which prohibited states and the federal government from denying citizens the right to vote on the basis of sex. Once the 19th Amendment became law, the franchise doubled. But what effect did women's participation have on American politics? Professor Mott will examine the ambitions and aspirations of women's suffrage. She is well known for dynamic and insightful presentations about the US Constitution.

Co-sponsored by Vermont Suffrage Centennial Alliance.and presented by Next Stage Arts Project of Putney, there will be an audience Q&A following the presentation.
