Friday, August 26th is Women’s Equality Day which celebrates the 1920 passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote.
On Thursday evening from 4:30 – 6:30 p.m, the Wisconsin Women’s Network will host a celebration at the Capitol in the Senate Parlor. Their special guest is Genevieve G. McBride, incoming director of UW Milwaukee’s Women’s Studies Department and author of the anthology, Women’s Wisconsin: From Native Matriarchies to the New Millennium.
I’m pleased that an article that I wrote on the history of prostitution in Eau Claire will be included in the Women’s Wisconsin anthology.
