November 1, 2027 – November 19, 2027
“It is coming as the harvest follows the patient.”
The traveling display “We Stand on Their Shoulders”: A History of Wisconsin Women and Voting explores moments when women in Wisconsin gained political rights and highlights a few key leaders. Covering the ratification of the 19th Amendment, 1921 Wisconsin Equal Rights Act, 1924 Indian Citizenship Act, and 1965 Voting Rights Act, the eight-panel display shares the important story of women’s quest for political rights and recognition through quotes, photographs, and a timeline of events.
The Wisconsin Historical Society currently provides this display to schools, public libraries, historical societies and civic organizations in Wisconsin.
