Virtual Event on ‘Images in the Fight for Women’s Votes’
The Boston Athenæum presents a virtual event called “Images in the Fight for Women’s Votes,” with historian Allison K. Lange, on Thursday, Aug. 27, at 6 p.m.
Since the nation’s founding, Americans have used images to define power and gender roles. Popular pictures praised male presidents, while cartoons mocked women who sought rights. Women’s rights activists like Sojourner Truth and Susan B. Anthony challenged these powerful pictures by distributing portraits that featured women as political leaders. Over time, suffragists developed a national visual campaign to change ideas about gender and politics and win voting rights.
