For nearly a hundred years, from the mid-nineteenth century onward, countless American women fought for the right to vote. While some of the leading figures of the suffrage movement have received deserved appreciation, the crusade for women's enfranchisement involved many individuals, each with a unique story to be told. Weaving together a diverse collection of portraits and other visual materials--including photographs, drawings, paintings, prints, textiles, and mixed media--along with biographical narratives and trenchant essays, this comprehensive book presents fresh perspectives on the history of the movement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBringing attention to underrecognized individuals and groups, the leading historians featured here look at how suffragists used portraiture to promote gender equality and other feminist ideals, and how photographic portraits in particular proved to be a crucial element of women's activism and recruitment. The contributors also explore the reasons why certain events and leaders of the suffrage movement have been remembered over others, the obstacles that black women faced when organizing with white suffragists and the subsequent founding of black women's suffrage groups, the foundations of the violent antisuffrage movement, and the ways suffragists held up American women physicians who served in France during World War I as exemplary citizens, deserving the right to vote. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith nearly 200 color illustrations, \u003ci\u003eVotes for Women\u003c\/i\u003e offers a more complete picture of American women's suffrage, one that sheds new light on the movement's relevance for our own time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, Washington, DC\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKate Clarke Lemay\u003c\/b\u003e is a historian at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery and the author of \u003ci\u003eTriumph of the Dead: American World War II Cemeteries, Monuments, and Diplomacy in France\u003c\/i\u003e.
