The Nineteenth Amendment is popularly celebrated for enfranchising half of all Americans overnight. But who actually gained the ability to vote after the woman suffrage amendment was ratified? In “Suffrage at 100,” Liette Gidlow, Ph.D., explores the “long history” of the Nineteenth Amendment, connecting it to the voting rights struggles of the 1960s and today.
Liette Gidlow is an associate professor of history at Wayne State University and the Mellon-Schlesinger Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University, where she is participating in the Long Nineteenth Amendment Project at the Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America.
