Exposing the Challenges: A Closer Look at Women's Suffrage
Rokeby Museum, Rte. 7 Ferrisburgh VT

Social and political movements are complex beasts, to say the very least. During the decades-long struggle for women's right to vote, there were numerous struggles in and outside the movement. Rokeby Director Emerita Jane Williamson and Middlebury College professor Amy Morsman will explore connections to abolition and questions of representation at this special Centennial program. The event will take place outdoors with safe seating for 50; in the case of rain, the event will be held indoors for 25, and video recording will be available the next day. Reservations can be made by calling 802-877-3406, or emailing admin@rokeby.org.
Funding for this project came from a Making of Nations Interpretive Theme Grant from the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership, and is a Votes for Women: a Centennial Celebration program.
