Hello to all Friends of the Yolo County Archives!

Please join the Yolo County Archives and Library for a virtual presentation in celebration of Women's History Month.

The first decade of the 20th century was a time of great social and cultural upheaval for women in the United States with the pursuit for equality paramount within the agenda. This talk will examine the California Campaign for Women's Suffrage as seen through the experience of the women of Yolo. Using images and newspaper articles from the era we will look at how Yolo women were finally able to mobilize and organize a "full on" campaign against all odds, culminating in the 1911 passage of Senate Constitutional Amendment #8, the “Right to Vote for Women."
