“The Onward March of American Women” by Hildreth Meière (American) and Lynn Fausett (American) – Oil on linen / 1933 – Smith College Museum of Art (Northampton, Massachusetts) #WomenInArt #HildrethMeiere #LynnFausett #SmithCollegeMuseumOfArt #WomensSuffrage #AmericanArt #MuralArt #art #WomenArtists
A procession of white women moves confidently across “The Onward March of American Women,” celebrating the expansion of women’s rights and opportunities in the United States. At left, suffragists carry banners reading “Votes for Women,” while a woman dressed in a tailored suit steps forward with a briefcase, representing women’s growing participation in business and professional life. Another figure raises a blue curtain marked “Peace,” revealing a gathering of people beneath radiant sunlight. At right, Clio, the classical Muse of History, sits draped in red, recording these achievements in an open book. Behind her, an inscription declares that women advance through education, suffrage, and economic freedom toward greater social justice. American artist Hildreth Meière created the mural with fellow American artist Lynn Fausett for Chicago’s 1933 Century of Progress International Exposition. Commissioned by the National Council of Women, the original three-part composition traced a century of American women’s achievements from 1833 to 1933. Meière, celebrated for her Art Deco murals and architectural decorations, had just two months to complete the commission. Fausett, her longtime assistant and an accomplished muralist, contributed substantially to its execution, and both artists signed the finished work. The surviving section, depicting approximately 1913–1933, emphasizes the women’s suffrage movement, professional advancement, international peace, and hopes for a more equitable future. The women’s voting-rights victory of 1920 provides an important backdrop, although discriminatory laws and practices continued to prevent many women, particularly women of color, from exercising that right. The mural reflects both the optimism and limitations of its time, presenting progress as the result of collective organization rather than individual accomplishment. Originally part of a much larger installation, this final section is the only one known to survive.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a primary architect & driving force behind the organized movement that ultimately won American women the right to vote in 1920.

She died on #OTD in 1902 & never got to vote in her lifetime.

Because of her (and others), we can. #VOTE

#WomensRights #WomensSuffrage
A black-and-white studio portrait of Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902), the pioneering American suffragist, abolitionist, and primary architect of the women’s rights movement. Seated in a three-quarter view facing left, Stanton maintains a dignified, forward-facing gaze with a serious and resolute expression. Her bright white, curly hair is styled in a voluminous halo around her face, adorned at the crown with a small, dark fabric headpiece. She wears a dark, long-sleeved dress layered with a heavy, deeply textured black lace shawl draped over her shoulders. Around her neck hang multiple beaded strands, featuring a prominent dark pendant and a circular locket brooch pinned near her chest. Her hands are resting in her lap. The plain, softly lit, neutral background emphasizes her solitary presence. The tightly framed composition conveys a solemn, intellectual, and commanding mood, underscoring her enduring legacy as a driving force behind the Seneca Falls Convention and the fight for women's voting rights.

I am reading the book, Kate Moore’s The Woman Who Could Not Be Silenced. It’s the story of Elizabeth Packard, a woman who fought for women’s rights and voting during the Civil War.

#OTD in 1893, New Zealand became the first self-governing country in the world to grant all adult women the right to vote in national parliamentary elections.

The first election held after this milestone was in November 1893--an incredible 82% of registered female voters voted. #WomensSuffrage
This image shows a bronze bas-relief detail from the Kate Sheppard National Memorial located on Oxford Terrace in Christchurch, New Zealand. A tribute to New Zealand's women's suffrage movement, depicting prominent campaigners. From left to right, the main figures featured in the sculpture are Meri Te Tai Mangakāhia, Amey Daldy, Kate Sheppard (center next to a wheelbarrow of suffrage petitions), Ada Wells, Harriet Morison, and Helen Nicol. The monument honors the landmark 1893 Electoral Act, signed on 19 September 1893, which made New Zealand the first self-governing country in the world where women won the right to vote in parliamentary elections.

A little weekend research challenge for those of you with #nz ancestors - can you find their signature in the suffrage petition? Let me know! #familyhistory #genealogy #archives #womenssuffrage
A close-up photograph of several large, tightly wound paper rolls from the historic 1893 Women’s Suffrage Petition sheets in New Zealand, displayed against a solid purple background. Overlaying the image is white text that reads "Spot the Suffragist" and "Help me mark the 133rd anniversary of Women’s Suffrage in Aotearoa New Zealand by searching for your female ancestors in the petition!

Suffragist Emma Smith DeVoe (d. #OTD 1927) is known as the "Mother of #WomensSuffrage" in Washington State.

She was the primary architect behind the 1910 amendment to the Washington constitution granting women the right to vote—10 years before the 19th Amendment.

Midterm election: 61 days. #Vote
A profile photograph of American suffragist Emma Smith DeVoe (1848–1927), known as the "Mother of Women's Suffrage" in Washington State for orchestrating the 1910 state constitutional amendment granting women the right to vote. The monochrome portrait captures DeVoe from the chest up, positioned in a right-facing side profile against a plain, softly vignette light background. She looks forward with a calm, composed, and serious expression, her mouth closed in a neutral line. Her dark hair is styled in a voluminous, classic early-20th-century pompadour bun gathered tightly at the back of her head, exposing a small, delicate drop earring. She wears a high-necked, lace-trimmed Victorian or Edwardian blouse with intricate embroidery along the collar. A dark, contrasting rectangular trim or strap accents her chest, framing the pleated front of her garment. The soft lighting emphasizes her features and the textures of her clothing, evoking a formal, dignified, and historic mood.
