"And Still We Rise": 100 Years of Women's Suffrage.
The years leading up to the passage of the 19th Amendment and women’s suffrage marked what some historians identify as a woman-centered educational renaissance. In the years since women won the right to vote, they fought for equity at work, at home, in athletics, the arts, and every other aspect of life. There have been grand contributions, of course, but equally grand disputes—setbacks as well as pushes forward. The speaker will draw on this history to consider how students might better engage with it, not only to honor those who came before them, but to prepare themselves to rise to meet challenging futures.
