The White House Historical Association invites you to attend the second of the 2019 Lecture Series, White House History with Ann Compton.
Suffragists at the White House will be hosted in conjunction with the Supreme Court Historical Society and the U.S. Capitol Historical Society as a part of the National Heritage Lecture and will cover the history of women’s suffrage in the United States. From the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 to the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920—allowing women the right to vote—the Executive Mansion played a major role as the fulcrum for first amendment activity.
After sixty years of relentless campaigning by women’s suffrage organizations, by 1913 only six states allowed women the right to vote. Alice Paul arrived in Washington, D.C., and planned an ambitious protest on Pennsylvania Avenue the day before Woodrow Wilson’s inauguration—marking a pivotal moment in suffrage movement. As we approach the centennial of the 19th Amendment, author of Suffragists in Washington, DC: The 1913 Parade and the Fight for the Vote, Rebecca Roberts will explore this timely and engaging moment in the history of gender equality.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
