The Struggle for Women's Suffrage: Revisiting Our History, Rededicating Our Future

In collaboration with UNE’s Women’s and Gender Studies Program, the League of Women Voters of Maine is proud to present a free and timely lecture by the League's own Ann Luther.

Commemorating the 19^th amendment and reflecting on lessons learned and what remains undone, 2020 marks the 100^th anniversary of the 19^th amendment, when women won the right to vote. This presentation celebrates that historic victory and the women who led the movement, but it also provides a sober reflection on the compromises that split the movement and left many voters behind – choices that continue to echo 100 years later. The lecture ends with a brief overview of the work that remains to be done.
