The Battle for the Ballot: Cleveland’s Suffragist Movement

This program will tell the story behind the Cleveland women who advocated for suffrage and went on to help establish the League of Women Voters.

There is no complete record of the brave, often unnamed women who fought for their right to vote and finally triumphed in 1920, with the passage of the 19th Amendment. As part of the America250 celebration, learn about a band of women who dedicated themselves to public interest and grew into an organization that won the respect and confidence of the nation.

This event is free and is presented in partnership with the Western Reserve Historical Society.
