SOUL 2019
2020 marked the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, giving the majority of American women the right to vote. The national debate over women’s suffrage was shaped by ephemera like postcards, films, pins, and even board games. Students enrolled in this course explored artifacts and works on paper that were created by fans and foes of women’s suffrage and discovered how “votes for women” triumphed over fears of “petticoat government.”
