As part of Women's Suffrage Month, we are delighted to host historian Katherine Pemberton, who will give us a look back at some of the women who fought for the right to vote here in Charleston.

Did you know....?

  • One particular Charleston suffragist may have tipped the scale for the final vote towards ratification of the 19th amendment?
  • Some of Charleston's most active suffragists were sisters?
  • Charleston's suffragists pursued careers and shattered glass ceilings in business and in the arts and humanities?

Register for the event and join us virtually on August 18! We will send you a ZOOM link prior to the event.
