Women’s Suffrage and Voting Rights Now Grades 4-12

Sign up your class for this free, interactive student webinar workshop series drawing from the Museum's collections.

Discover diverse leaders within the women’s suffrage movement and the tactics they used to expand voting rights.

Looking back 100 years to the passage of the 19th amendment, students will explore the legacy and shortcomings of the movement for votes for women and learn about the importance of voting rights now.
