A century after ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, the Chicago History Museum invites visitors to explore women's activism in Chicago to secure the right to vote and beyond. In this online exhibit, discover the ways women organized to challenge the status quo and how these different paths led to a mass movement for suffrage. Find out what the vote did and did not accomplish, and for whom. Connect themes of the past with the present, which remind us that while injustice and inequality persist, so do activist women.
