Discovering New York Suffrage Stories

Special | 26m 40s | Video has closed captioning.

In New York State, the epicenter for reform in the mid 1800’s, the suffrage movement’s success depended on many women, but today, several of their stories are absent from history. Meet a few of the diverse suffragists in this NY Emmy-nominated documentary who tirelessly navigated issues of religious intolerance, sexism, politics, and racism as they fought for the vote and for women’s equality.
