Program Description

Event Details

On Thursday, March 21 at 6pm, the Hancock Veterans Memorial Branch Library will host Woman's Suffrage in Maryland: The Shoulders We Stand On, in recognition of Women’s History Month. This program, presented by the Maryland State Library Resource Center, documents the efforts to achieve the right of women to vote in Maryland and the United States. The program shows the teamwork, strategy, and some of the conflicts within the movement to gain popular support for voter rights. The relevance of the suffragists’ efforts and the right to vote—for both women and men—to today will be explored using the unique artifacts and photographs from Pratt Library Special Collections Woman Suffrage Collection.
