When Iowans Voted No: The 1916 Referendum on Women’s Suffrage
Channel: Special Collections & Archives, UIowa Libraries
Date: 13/08/2020

Join Processing Librarian, Anna Tunnicliff, for this thirteenth installment of Special Collections Summer Seminar Series. In this summer series, Special Collections & Archives staff will talk about what they know best, the collection! 

Although the Iowa General Assembly considered a women’s suffrage amendment in almost every session for over 40 years, the question wasn’t brought to the voters until 1916. The ensuing campaigns for and against women’s suffrage and the reasons for the referendum’s ultimate failure are considered in this talk from July 31, 2020.
