How Women Won the Vote

Additional Print & Online Woman Suffrage Resources

In recognition of Equality Day, and following up on the "How Women Won the Vote" Gazette, the NWHP has posted on its website an extensive new List of Resources on suffragists and the suffrage movement.

The Suffrage List offers "Cookbooks, Patterns, Songs and Surprises ? Leads to a Variety of Votes for Women Resources," with items in three dozen categories. The Reference Lists cite sixty-six biographies of suffragists, many of which are recent, and more than 500 books and links that offer more information. There is material on each state's suffrage history that adds to the information in the Gazette. [link]

The National Women's History Project's 2017 Gazette, How Women Won the Vote, celebrates suffragists and activity in all the states and covers plans for the 2020 suffrage centennial. However, with limited space, it did not list any books or other media. So here are selected books, resources and additional links to encourage further research into individual suffragists and the multifaceted suffrage movement. The supplemental resources

specifically for Suffragists Active in Every State appear at the end.

Also check out resources on the web. There is a wealth of information, books and lesson plans on suffrage and women's history now available online.

These resources are divided into four sections: The Suffrage List Cookbooks, Patterns, Songs and Surprises ? Leads to a Variety of Votes

for Women Resources Suffrage Films, Books & Resources by Topic Biographies, Autobiographies and Books by Suffragists

Recent and Classic, for Adults and Children Suffragists Active in Every State

Additional Links, Books and Resources for Each State

Timeline National Suffrage Timeline

Women and Politics If you can't see running for office yourself, consider helping another woman run. Change only happens when we make it happen.

In October 1991, after charges of sexual harassment were essentially ignored by Congressmen vetting Clarence Thomas for the Supreme Court, women across the country were outraged. An overwhelming number ran for office the following year. Five women won seats in the U.S. Senate and twenty-four were elected to the House.

Learn more about projects that encourage girls to consider politics and train women to run for office. National organizations like the AAUW , League of Women Voters , NOW , Feminist Majority and more have resources to help.
