When Women Won the Right to Vote: A History Unfinished

Hosted by Midtown Scholar Bookstore.

This event is free and open to the public, with registration.

When women won passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, they did not win the right to vote—despite repeated claims that they did. Just what, then, did the woman suffrage amendment do? Clarifying this history, this talk also positions 1920 as the middle of a much larger story about the pursuit of voting rights, a struggle that is today unfinished and ongoing.

Join author Lisa Tetrault for a presentation and discussion on the women's suffrage movement and her new book, The Myth of Seneca Falls. This talk is co-sponsored by AAUW Harrisburg.
