When Women Lost the Vote: a Museum of the American Revolution Presentation Online
The Historical Society of Moorestown's New Jersey History Speaks Lecture series returns ...
Millions of American women were granted the right to vote with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. But did you know that more than a century earlier, women legally held the right to vote in New Jersey? In a groundbreaking exhibition, the Museum of the American Revolution explored the little-known history of the nation’s first women voters — and examined the political conflicts that led to their voting rights being stripped away in 1807.
Join us when we host one of the museum’s researchers and get an inside look at the Museum’s newest exhibition, When Women Lost the Vote: A Revolutionary Story, 1776-1807. Learn the little-known history of the nation’s first women voters including women who lived in and around Moorestown. Get a virtual peek at artifacts that tell their stories and bring to life the women who laid the foundation for the suffragists two generations later.
Sponsored by the Elizabeth Tuttle Foundation.
