Through a display of artifacts, historic photographs and
interactive activities, this temporary exhibit chronicles women’s
struggle for the right to the vote from the mid-19th century to
the ratification of the 19th Amendment on Aug. 26, 1920, drawing
parallels to the ongoing fight for women’s equality that
continues today. It was developed in collaboration
with First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, who serves as
California’s representative on the Women’s Suffrage Centennial
Commission. The exhibit will be on view in person when
indoor museums in Sacramento County are cleared to reopen by the
California Department of Public Health.
