2019-20: The Women's Suffrage Centennial

 

August 18, 2020, marked the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, granting women the right to vote after more than 75 years of activism across the country. PRF took this occasion as its inaugural theme; across the year, 6 teams of faculty-student collaborators explored issues related to the history of suffrage movements and voting rights today.
