Celebrating 100 Years of Women's Suffrage:
In 1910, Washington became the fifth U.S. state to grant female citizens the right to vote. This was ten years ahead of Congress, which ratified the 19th amendment to the Constitution in 1920. Learn more about the history of women's suffrage in Washington from The Olympian, the Washington State Historical Society, and the Women of the West Museum. Find out if the traveling Washington Women's Suffrage Centennial Exhibit might be coming to your area by exploring the website of the Washington Women's History Consortium.
