Think back to 1848 in Seneca Falls and hold the thought of women and men gathering for the conference where the radical idea of Votes for Women was first expressed. There’s still time to plan an event for Women’s Equality Day on August 26th for your friends or organization. The National Women’s History Project is a terrific resource.
Note the new feature column above, “Save the Date,” that highlights August 26 and September 20. On July 24th there’s an interactive tour of New York City of women’s history.

Good for you, Garrison Keillor. I heard somewhere that Minnesota has quite a suffrage history. When are we going to hear about this?

Garrison Keillor did this fantastic piece on the Seneca Falls Convention. Bravo!
