SUMMARY:Equality at the Ballot Box by Lori Lahlum\, Ph.D
DESCRIPTION:The Brown County Historical Society presents "Equality at the Ballot Box: Votes for Women in Minnesota (and the Northern Plains)" by Lori Lahlum\, Ph.D. \n\nIn 1920\, with the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment\, women citizens in Minnesota acquired the right to vote in all elections. While the amendment excluded Indigenous women who did not hold US citizenship\, most women in the state earned the franchise.\n\nIn this presentation\, Professor Lori Ann Lahlum will discuss the winding history of woman suffrage in Minnesota.\n\nInterestingly\, Minnesota had an opportunity to become the first state with woman suffrage in 1870. It's also important to remember that women did have some suffrage rights in the nineteenth century: school elections and later for library boards. Professor Lahlum will also compare the suffrage situation in Minnesota regionally and nationally.
