Women's History Month (March)

Interesting information on women's history, here at the library and out on the web.

The Women's Suffrage Movement

Illustration shows a torch-bearing female labeled 'Votes for Women', symbolizing the awakening of the nation's women to the desire for suffrage, striding across the western states, where women already had the right to vote, toward the east where women are reaching out to her. Printed below the cartoon is a poem by Alice Duer Miller.
