The Falls on the Colorado Museum in Marble Falls presents “Citizens at Last: The Woman Suffrage Movement in Texas” from Oct. 28-Nov. 23. The Humanities Texas exhibit highlights the 27-year campaign for women’s voting rights in the state.
The 1920 ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution ended the women’s suffrage movement and represented a great victory for American women in their quest for the right to vote as U.S. citizens. Texas was the first state in the South to ratify the amendment, a landmark moment for all who took place in the struggle for representation.
“Citizens at Last: The Woman Suffrage Movement in Texas” is based on a book of the same name and includes archival photographs, newspaper clippings, cartoons, cards, and texts.
“We’re excited to offer this exhibit that honors the Texan women who fought for the right to vote,” said Amanda Seim, chairman The Falls on the Colorado Museum board, in a media release about the exhibit.
The Falls on the Colorado Museum, 2001 Broadway in Marble Falls, is open from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday-Saturday. Admission is free, but donations are welcome.
