Description

On November 6, 1917, women won the right vote in New York State. This occurred early eventy yrears after women organized to demand their right to vote at the first women's rights conventiion in Seneca Falls, N.Y., in 1848. Women organized into conventions, parades, and marches and drew attention to their cause with posters, pamphlets, buttons, signs, postcoards, and songs. Many women throughout New York State sought their rights in a wide variety of ways, privately and publicly, by attempting to vote and staging protests over the decades.

The Art Exhibition is from November 1st to November 30th at the Great Neck Library.  For more information, please contact the Great Neck Library at (516) 466-8055 or email adultprogramming@greatnecklibrary.org.
