About the Book

A full-color exploration of the history of women's suffrage.

From hunger strikes to massive parades, the American women’s suffrage movement grabbed the attention of citizens and politicians around the United States. Posters, lapel buttons, and even luncheonette plates carried the iconic phrase, “Votes for Women.” Over time this phrase became not only a slogan, but a rallying cry for the movement. Today, museums, libraries, universities, and historic sites across the country care for the objects and places that tell the story of suffrage. Exploring Women’s Suffrage through 50 Historic Treasures brings together a selection of these cultural gems representing the milestones, people, and legacy of the long campaign for women’s voting rights. Through color photos and short essays detailing each object’s story, readers will not only find themselves in the action of a groundbreaking social and political movement, but they are also transported around the nation to the institutions and sites that are the keepers of the country’s past.

About the Author



About the Author :
Jessica D. Jenkins has worked in museums for over ten years, specializing in collection and exhibit curation. Her previous publications on suffrage include articles for the journal Connecticut History and the magazine Connecticut Explored. In addition to her work on suffrage, Jessica co-authored the 2015 book, House of Worth: Fashion Sketches, 1916-1918. She previously served as curator of collections for the Litchfield Historical Society, Litchfield, Connecticut. In her current role as curator for Minnetrista, Muncie, Indiana, Jessica plays a key role in the care of the institution’s historic collection and the telling of its stories.

Review :
This unique, fascinating book carries the reader into the struggle surrounding the 19th amendment, presenting fifty essays about objects related to the people and events that inched the suffragists closer to success. . . . Jenkins, a museum curator, is a wonderful guide, making the story clear and engaging . . . [A] marvelous exploration of a slice of American history. Who would have guessed that 50 objects could reveal so much complexity in the history of American suffrage? Or that it could be so engaging to explore? This clearly written, engaging book gives a new perspective on the suffrage movement by exploring tangible objects. State and local institutions will be inspired to use objects in their collections to tell new suffrage stories. A beautiful combination of historical overview and rich material culture brings the history of women’s suffrage to life. Jessica Jenkins addresses the complex history of the movement in an accessible, engaging way through the brilliant use of objects—famous and little known—collected by public institutions of all kinds.
