Questers' Women’s Suffrage Exhibit

The Questers' Women’s Suffrage Exhibit commemorates the 100th anniversary of passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution giving women the right to vote. Six freestanding banners tell the story of the 72-year nonviolent struggle to win the vote. The exhibit features colorful illustrations and easy-to-read descriptions of the reasons women had to fight for the vote, efforts to win the vote, difficulties the suffragists faced, women’s suffrage in Arizona, progress women have made with use of the vote, and the theme that “each of us makes history.” Women’s suffrage is a timeless topic, because the suffrage movement is an iconic example of the democratic process. The Questers' Women’s Suffrage Exhibit was developed in cooperation with the Arizona Capitol Museum and the Arizona State Library.
