The ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920 was the culminating act in a 75-year-long struggle to win the vote for women. Ellen DuBois will present an illustrated talk about the epic battle, and explore how a woman’s right to vote changed America and how it continues to have a growing impact on our nation’s political life.
Author Ellen Carol DuBois is Distinguished Research Professor in the History Department of UCLA. She is the author of numerous books on the history of woman suffrage in the US, among them: Feminism and Suffrage: The Emergence of an Independent Women’s Movement in America, 1848–1869; Harriot Stanton Blatch and the Winning of Woman Suffrage; and Suffrage: Women’s Long Battle for the Vote. She is the coauthor, with Lynn Dumenil, of the leading textbook in US women’s history, Through Women’s Eyes: An American History with Documents and coeditor, with Vicki Ruiz, of Unequal Sisters: In Inclusive Reader in US Women’s History.
“This is a great American story, beautifully told. Ellen DuBois enables us to appreciate the drama of the long battle for women’s suffrage and the heroism of many of its advocates, as well as the movement’s imperfections. At a time when many of our constitutional rights are under assault, this is an especially relevant piece of our national history.” — Eric Foner, author of The Second Founding: How the Civil War and Reconstruction Remade the Constitution.
The League of Women Voters was founded at the time of the passage of the 19th Amendment to encourage women to vote and to protect their access to voting, a mission that the League extended to the voting rights of all citizens and has worked zealously over the years to protect. There will be a short overview at this event of the League’s mission and work, by Mary Dickson, President of the Burbank/Glendale chapter of the League of Women Voters.
Books will be available for purchase and signing.

On the hundredth anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment, a new history of the suffrage movement celebrates the bold women who fought for the vote.

The suffrage movement was “a 75-year marathon through the very core of American history,” writes Ellen Carol DuBois. The 19th amendment was ratified in 1920, but the heroic efforts to get it passed extend back prior to the Civil War. In Suffrage DuBois explores the early links between abolition and suffrage and the collaboration between Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony with Sojourner Truth and Frederick Douglass. And she follows through successive generations of leaders like Carrie Chapman Catt and Alice Paul, who brought the fight into the 20th century—and Ida B. Wells-Barnett, who demanded voting rights for African American women even as white suffragists ignored them.
DuBois visits the Library to discuss the history of suffrage, and the many ways in which the passing of the 19th amendment shaped the century that followed. She will be joined in conversation by CUNY Grad Center dean and professor of Sociology, Julie C. Suk.

Join us on Sunday, February 9th at 3:00 pm as we welcome Ellen DuBois to the store to discuss and sign Suffrage: Women’s Long Battle for the Vote!
DuBois begins in the pre-Civil War years with foremothers Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Sojourner Truth as she explores the links between the suffrage movement and the abolition of slavery. She introduces new champions Carrie Chapman Catt and Alice Paul, who brought the fight into the 20th century, and she shows how African American women, led by Ida B. Wells-Barnett, demanded voting rights even as white suffragists ignored them. And after decades of persevering through disappointments and defeats, DuBois explains how suffragists forged a strategy to win voting rights in crucial battleground states — culminating in the last, most difficult ratification in Tennessee.
Suffrage: Women’s Long Battle for the Vote is sure to become the authoritative account of one of the great episodes in the history of American democracy. And the suffrage movement’s legacy only continues to grow — as women’s votes are solicited by political parties, as more women candidates enter the political arena, and as women voice their opinions about political issues that matter to them.

The 19th Amendment at 100: From the Vote to Gender Equality
2019-09-20 08:00 - 17:00
The University of Akron School of Law (Brennan Courtroom 180)
The focus of the 2019 conference is the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment.
Soon after its passage in June 1919, and its ratification by the states in August 1920, the voting amendment was interpreted as a broad command for gender equality. However, that trend was quickly reversed, narrowing the impact and intent of the amendment and its 72 years of advocacy.
This conference explores the original goal of the amendment of systemic equality for women. It brings together scholars from law, history, political science, and women’s studies to engage in a day of intensive scholarly discussion about the implications of the amendment, and its social, legal, and political context.
