First in the Nation: Utah Women in the National Suffrage Movement

This year the nation will commemorate the centennial of the 19th Amendment which gave women throughout the nation a right that Utah women first exercised in 1870, fifty years before the rest of the nation.

In this lecture, Professor Ulrich will go beyond the account in her recent book A House Full of Females to situate Utah's story in the context of the larger women's rights movement in the United States.

This lecture is part of Weber Historical Society and is free and open to the public. It is sponsored in part by Organization of American Historians and Utah Humanities Council.
