“The Woman’s Hour has Struck: Wisconsin’s Role in the Women’s Suffrage Movement”
Speaker: Jenny Kalvaitis, formerly of the Wisconsin Historical Society
We will be able to take a march through suffrage history exploring the stories of leaders, tactics, losses, and victories as women worked for the right to vote. We will also see how Wisconsin fits within the larger story of enfranchisement and analyze the conflict and complications that suffragists faced as they sought the right to vote.
Both Webinars are free and open to the public. Make reservations for one or both on LWV-Beloit’s Facebook Page-- or by going to the event direct link above.
