Votes for Women 

Celebrate the Milestone!


August 14, 15, & 16


Four events this weekend, three virtual and one outdoors, put the spotlight on the August 18, 1920 signing of the 19th Amendment that gave women the right to vote. Learn more of the decades-long struggle to achieve the amendment and what it has meant to women in the 100 years since. 

~Tonight! - Friday, August 14, at 8 pm, the Amos Fortune Forum presents Lara Putnam on “How Women Change the Trajectory of History.” Learn more

~Saturday, August 15, at 1 pm, take a walk and learn about The Women of Peterbough. This history walk, offered by the Monadnock Center for History and Culture, will explore women’s contributions to the town over the last 200 years. The tour is free but guests must register for the tour. Learn more

~Saturday, August 15, at 4 pm, Electric Earth Concerts celebrates women composers in its series “Changing the Conversation” with Women on the Move. This concert features soprano Marlissa Hudson and pianist Marvin Mills, performing works by Margaret Bonds and Florence Price, both active in the first part of the 20th-century. Learn more

~Sunday, August 16 at 10:45 am, The Monadnock Summer Lyceum presents Susan Ware on “Why They Marched: Celebrating the Centennial of the Vote for Women”. This event is sponsored by the NH Women's Foundation. As important as the goal of suffrage was, the struggle was always far broader than that, and it spoke to fundamental questions about women’s roles in politics and modern life, the relationship between citizenship and voting rights, and more - topics still relevant today.  Learn more

All of these events are free, donations are gladly accepted! Videos of the virtual events will remain available for some time.
