Teaching with ARTstor: Speaking for women's suffrage through a quilt
On June 4, 1919, U.S. Congress passed the 19th Amendment to the Constitution guaranteeing women the right to vote and sent it to the states for ratification. To celebrate this momentous anniversary, we are sharing an essay by Stacy C. Hollander, senior curator and director of exhibitions at the American Folk Art Museum, about an anonymous 19th-century artist's quilt and its message about women's suffrage.
