The symposium is open to the public and seeks to impact the community by providing a forum for sharing new research and creative work on the topic of women’s suffrage, examining the interpretation and representation of the movement, and sharing newly collected artifacts and archives. The mission of this event is to inspire educators, museum professionals, researchers, artists, writers and individuals from all walks of life to approach women’s suffrage history with a broader and more critical lens, to challenge the iconic narratives and myths often associated with this history and to examine the intersections of race, gender, socio-economic conditions, religion and citizenship in the Colorado and national women’s suffrage campaign.
