Authoring an Official Narrative
The exhibit curated by NAWSA closely followed the story of the movement recorded by Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Matilda Joslyn Gage, and Ida Husten Harper in the six-volume The History of Woman Suffrage published between 1881 and 1922. The authors solicited accounts of the movement from women across the country, then compiled and edited them to emphasize Stanton's, Anthony's, and NAWSA's leadership of a coordinated campaign for voting rights. |
