TIP OF THE WEEK – HONORING SUFFRAGISTS
This year is the 100th anniversary of the passing of the 19th
Amendment by Congress which gave women of the United States voting
rights in every state of the union for the first time. One educational
project honoring this occasion is a joint effort of the Washington
State Historical Society, the Women’s History Consortium, and the
Women’s Commission. At Find-a-Grave, they have built and continue to
add to a virtual cemetery and memorials for known suffragists of
Washington State. It’s 66 memorials and growing. You can visit this
virtual cemetery here:
Thank you for posting this tip. I’ve created my own virtual cemetery for a specific ethnic group of suffragists.
