National Women's History Museum & NBC Universal Present:
Representation with a Hyphen: Latinas in the Fight for Women's Suffrage
|
Presented in partnership with NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises’ Unstoppable Women initiative, our new virtual exhibit tells the
story of Latinas' bicultural political engagement and experience through the suffrage movement. For these Latina suffragists, their cultural background shaped their notions of civic duty and citizenship
in the United States. Their fight for representation was multifaceted, combining both their belief in women’s equal rights and their dedication to preserving their cultural heritage.
