How did Chicago women win suffrage for themselves and other women? Who were these politicians and activists, and what did they accomplish on the long path toward suffrage from the years after the Civil War until the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment?
Join us for this very special online presentation in honor of the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage, co-sponsored by Glessner House, League of Women Voters of Illinois and Friends of Historic Second Church.
Our speaker will be Rachel Bohlmann, Curator of Rare Books and Special Collections, American History and American Studies Librarian, and Gender Studies Librarian at the Hesburgh Libraries at the University of Notre Dame. She previously served as Director of Public Programs at the Newberry Library.
This program is generously funded by a grant from Wintrust. The program is free of charge, but advanced registration is required.
