Historically Speaking: Women's Suffrage

In honor of Women's History Month and the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, join us to learn about the Women's Suffrage movement in Oklahoma. Our guest presenter, Dr. Jennifer Holland, will tell the story of how Oklahoma women gained their right to vote 2 years before the historic 1919 date and how the Suffragette Movement played out on the national scale.
