About the Exhibit
The "Suffrage Outside!" exhibit is part of theÌęÌęcampaign, a significant, multi-year initiative recognizing the stories and protecting the historic places that showcase the vision, courage, and leadership of the generations of women who contributed to American history and culture.Ìę
âThrough visual storytelling," says Elizabeth Karcher, "this exhibit takes history outside our museum and showcases how womenâs work outside the home, the work and leadership of Black women pushed outside the âmainstreamâ middle-class white womenâs movement, protesting outside the White House, public protests outside in the streets, mobilization for war outside the United States as well as alliances with activists outside the United States, collectively propelled the American womanâs suffrage campaign to victory in 1920.â
