Beginning as far back as the mid­-1800s, the women’s suffrage movements in both the United States and Great Britain reached their peaks in the decades prior to World War I. Led by such notable figures as Sylvia and Emmeline Pankhurst in the UK and Alice Paul and Inez Milholland in the US, suffragettes took to the streets, waving banners in parades and engaging in more militant tactics than used in prior years.

This exhibit features various memorabilia associated with the women's suffrage movements in the 1800s.
