100 Years of Suffrage: The Work Continues
100 years ago, the 19th Amendment was ratified. That date marks neither the beginning nor the end of the struggle for suffrage. Join WIN, in collaboration with the Stanford Women’s Club of San Francisco (SWCSF), to learn more about the history around women’s suffrage, where we are in the movement, and how women can keep the fight for voting rights alive.
Jacqueline Yau ’91, a donor relations officer for Stanford Medical Center, will moderate a dynamic panel featuring Aimee Allison ’91, founder and president of She the People, a national network elevating the voice and power of women of color; Jennifer Helton ’93, a historian who teaches in the California Community College system and writes extensively on the history of women's suffrage and women's rights; and Lisa Garcia Bedolla, one of the nation’s foremost experts on political engagement within communities of color, and the current Vice Provost for Graduate Studies and the Dean of the Graduate Division at the University of California, Berkeley.
