ABOUT SUFFRAGE CENTENNIAL:
Beginning in 1848, Suffragists from all over the country fought for 72 years to win the right for women to vote. They worked tirelessly, sometimes giving their lives so that women everywhere could give their voice to the Ballot Box. Women of all ages, shapes and sizes live and change the world in Akron. This 100 year celebration of the right to vote will be a celebration of the modern woman and the women that came before us. Women Equality Day is celebrated on August 26 but Akron will get the party started early on March 30th.
