This one’s for the girls!
Abby is joined by Historian and Author of Why They Marched, Susan Ware, for a lesson about the women’s suffrage movement!
Susan explains the political and cultural factors within the United States that led to the foundation of the women’s suffrage movement. She discusses both famous and hidden figures within the movement and sheds light on the various ways in which the suffragists protested. Later, Susan reflects on the obstacles women faced with their activism at the time and discusses the broad impact the suffrage movement had on the country.
