Exhibit-Ohio Women Vote: 100 Years of Change

Date: Apr 6, 2020 at 8:00am to 5:08pm
Starts: Monday, April 6, 2020 Ends: Sunday, April 26, 2020 All Day (ET) This Ohio History Connection special panel traveling exhibit will examine and celebrate the path taken by Ohio women to achieve the right to vote, as well as the history of civic action led by a diverse spectrum of Ohio women throughout American history. This narrative will begin with the first women’s rights convention in 1848 and carry through the present day. While telling this story, the exhibit will ask visitors to consider the intersections between various women’s movements and other American social movements such as the Civil Rights Movement and the Temperance Movement. Exploring these stories will require visitors to reckon with complicated questions of identity. For example, what does it mean to be a voter? To be a citizen? To be a woman? How can different parts of our identities change our experiences? This traveling exhibit is presented in conjunction with the exhibit "Women Pioneers: Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Women's Suffrage." Both exhibits will be on the 4th floor of Alden Library and will be available for viewing anytime the 4th floor is open. All are welcome.
