What methods did suffragists use to communicate their message, and how did public
representations of women shape the battle for the 19th Amendment? Lisa Desjardins, a
correspondent for PBS NewsHour, will lead a discussion with panelists Rebecca Boggs Roberts,
author of Suffragists in Washington, DC; Elizabeth Griffith, author of In Her Own Right; and
Linda Lumsden, professor of journalism, University of Arizona, about the unparalleled
communications machine of the suffrage movement and how that struggle in the early 1900s
continues to shape the women’s movement today.
