A hundred years later, the State Historical Society is commemorating that milestone – and the Iowans who marched toward it – with a series of monthly programs and events through August.
“The ratification of the 19th Amendment was one of the most significant equal rights issues that women all across the country faced 100 years ago, including women right here in Iowa,” says Susan Kloewer, administrator of the Historical Society. “Over the next seven months, we will present a series of programs that explore the people, places and issues behind Women’s Suffrage. I ask all Iowans to join us as we honor that period of our time in the history of our state and nation.”
Seven Central Iowa events are included in the series, beginning Saturday, Feb. 22, when the award-winning suffrage film “Iron Jawed Angels” will be screened in the State Historical Museum downtown at 1:30 p.m. Details about other events in the series are listed here:
