Who Was A Suffragist: A More Diverse View

September 2, 2020

Hidden histories of the Native American, Chinese American, African American, and Hispanic suffragists.

Cathleen Cahill

Penn State University

This lecture reveals the hidden histories of the Native American, Chinese American, African American, and Hispanic suffragists who not only challenged women’s inequality but also fought against the racial prejudices of the age. They marched in parades, debated with national suffrage leaders, and met with presidents and other politicians. They insisted that women in their communities also deserved the vote.

This program is sponsored by the Clarke Forum for Contemporary Issues and co-sponsored by the Women’s & Gender Resource Center and the department of womens, gender & sexuality studies.
