The fight for the vote went beyond lobbying politicians with letter writing campaigns. Suffragists of the early 20th century transformed the controversial and polarizing idea of women’s suffrage to appeal to the masses. How did they do it?  Join National Endowment for the Arts Chairman Mary Anne Carter as she shares the art, merchandise, publications, artifacts, tactics, and methods that the suffragists used to advertise and popularize the campaign for the vote.

The Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commission (WSCC) was created by Congress to coordinate the nationwide commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment in 2020.
