Law Library Display: Celebrating Women’s History Month:  Valiant Women of the Vote

This month’s Law Library display features resources on women’s suffrage, with a particular focus on Ohio women. Stay tuned for the Law Library’s 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment Exhibit which will kick-off on March 24, 2020.

UC Libraries Exhibit

The Walter C. Langsam Library exhibit on the 5th floor of the library celebrates the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment throughout spring semester. It includes a timeline of the women’s suffrage fight starting in 1848 when Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott organized the first women’s rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York. Learn about milestones and setbacks along the way, including after the Civil War when the movement found itself divided over the issue of voting rights for black men, thus resulting in a split in the group fighting for women’s suffrage.
