Location
On January 6, 1919 the RI House and Senate voted to ratify the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote. In celebration, the League of Women Voters held a grand party inviting all who had played a part in the great victory.
The LWV now invites all to a Centennial Celebration of Rhode Island's Ratification of the 19th Amendment on January 6, 2020 featuring guest speaker Nellie Gorbea. It's a party, and you're invited!
Celebrate 100 years of women having the right to vote!
