“How Michigan Women Won the Vote”
The women’s suffrage movement was a decades-long fight to win the right to vote
for women in the United States. It took activists and reformers nearly 100 years to
win that right, and the campaign was not easy: Disagreements over strategy threatened
to cripple the movement more than once. But on August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment
to the Constitution was finally ratified; enfranchising all American women and
declaring for the first time that they like men, deserve all the rights and responsibilities
of citizenship.
The Michigan Women’s History Center has assembled 11 panels that describe the
history of the suffrage movement in Michigan. The panels will be displayed at
the CoBACH Center June 1 through August 23, 2019.
