Women’s Suffrage: Moral Advancement or Politics as Usual?
From our free Fall Conference: “Democracy 20/20.” The suffrage movement operated under two very different principles.

Professor Meg Mott considers both of these visions. Learn more about upcoming Fall Conference talks at: www.vermonthumanities.org/democracy.
