The Fight for Women’s Suffrage in Connecticut, Virtual Lecture by Natalie Belanger Tuesday, March 9, 7:00 pm. Free
How did the women of Connecticut work for – or against – the right to vote?
Natalie Belanger looks at photos, letters, and pamphlets from Connecticut Historical Society’s collection to understand one of the most hard-fought political battles of American history.
You’ll learn about suffragists like Katharine Houghton Hepburn, Mary Townsend Seymour, and Isabella Beecher Hooker, as well as Connecticut women who fought tooth-and-nail against women getting the vote.
Natalie Belanger will present the program via Zoom.
Belanger is the Adult Programs Manager at the Connecticut Historical Society. She holds a B.A. in history from Smith College and an M.A. in women's history from the University of Maryland.
