Rightfully Hers
Date: Sunday, March 29, 2020
Time: All Day - All Day
Branch: Central Branch
Description:
"The ratification of the 19th Amendment was a landmark moment in American history that dramatically changed the electorate, and although it enshrined in the U.S. Constitution fuller citizenship for women many remained unable to vote." - Jennifer N. Johnson, Rightfully Hers co-curator
Rightfully Hers, a new popup exhibition from the National Archives, commemorates the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Rightfully Hers contains simple messages exploring the history of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, women's voting rights before and after the 19th, and its impact today. Despite decades of marches, petitions, and public debate to enshrine a woman's right to vote in the Constitution, the 19th Amendment - while an enormous milestone - did not grant voting rights for all. The challenges of its passage reverberate to today's ongoing fight for gender equity.
