One hundred years ago, many women around the country won the right to vote with the passage of the 19th amendment. Jennifer Carroll delves into the history of that occasion from a local perspective, highlighting empowered women who sought change and sharing the ways in which small cities like Keene became involved in the women’s suffrage movement.  Women’s Suffrage in the Monadnock Region is a 1 hour zoom presentation that provides the public with an opportunity to link local history to national events, compare the past with the present, discover new perspectives on an issue they may have learned about in school, and to think critically about the history of women’s suffrage in all of its complexity.
