Ohio Women Vote commemorates the 19th Amendment, certified in 1920, which granted women the right to vote. This traveling exhibit from the Ohio History Connection celebrates more than a century of women’s activism, demonstrating that the 19th Amendment was not the end of making their voices heard, but the beginning. Voting enabled women to further their education, pursue careers, change laws, create social service and cultural organizations, and run for office themselves.
