We Demand: Women’s Suffrage in Virginia

An exhibition from the Library of Virginia, tells the story of the campaign for the women’s vote in the commonwealth. This exhibit commemorates the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that granted women the right to vote. On November 2, 1920, nearly 80,000 Virginia women, both black and white, eagerly went to the polls to vote in what the nation viewed as a remarkable event—the first time that women in every state exercised the right to vote.

This exhibit will be on display from June 14 – July 16, 2021 at The Boydton Public Library, 1294 Jefferson Street, Boydton, VA 23917.  For more information call 434-738-6580.
