Completing the Story
In the 1970s curators began expanding the museum's suffrage collections to include the women whose contributions were marginalized, left out, or unknown in the National Woman Suffrage Association's (NAWSA) story of suffrage. They were aided by families and organizations happy to have their own heroines take their rightful places among the better-known icons. Curators' search for stories and objects, especially from women of color, is ongoing. |
