Join Jeanne Schultz Angel, the President of the Illinois Association of Museums, for an engaging presentation on the history of women’s suffrage in Illinois. Prior to 1920, women were denied the vote in the majority of elections in the United States. The struggle for enfranchisement began with the birth of our nation and was strategized differently in our local, state and federal elections. From attorney Ellen Martin, the first woman to vote in Illinois, to Ida B. Wells, a woman who did not let racism silence her voice, women’s suffrage has been a battle hard fought by a diverse group of activists in Illinois. NOTE: Please register in advance, as space is limited.&nbsp;&nbsp; AGE: 7 and up FEE: Free
