Join us this Sunday, March 8 at Noon! NEW LOCATION: South Valleys Library, 15650-A Wedge Pkwy, Reno.
Most people don't know that women in Nevada got the right to vote several years before the 19th Amendment was passed! Dana Bennett will share the fascinating story of how that effort played out in Reno.
As the business, political and social heart of Nevada in the early 20th century, Reno was at the center of the debate about allowing women to vote in this state. Both the suffragists and the anti-suffragists launched their organizations in Reno and focused their efforts here. Dana will review both sides of that hotly contested question.
