"A Vote for Women: Celebrating the Women’s Suffrage Movement and the Nineteenth Amendment"

A Vote for Women: Celebrating the Women’s Suffrage Movement and the 19th Amendment charts the history of the women’s suffrage movement in the U.S., the fight for the vote, and some of the advances that have resulted from that victory. This fully illustrated and beautifully designed hardback book brings together key stories from the fields of equality and women’s rights. It also offers an insight into Congress and U.S. government departments, exploring current activities and initiatives, and the contributions they have made in shaping the U.S. of today. A Vote for Women features editorial contributions from academics, government agencies, charities, corporations, and other organizations, alongside archival photography that vividly brings the battle for the ballot to life.

the 2020 Women's Vote Centennial Initiative

The year 2020 marked the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing and protecting women's constitutional right to vote. This historic centennial offered an unparalleled opportunity to commemorate a milestone of democracy and to explore its relevance to the issues of equal rights today. The Women's Vote Centennial Initiative, a collaboration of women-centered institutions, organizations, and scholars from across the US, worked to ensure that this anniversary, and the 72-year fight to achieve it, were commemorated and celebrated throughout the United States.
