Display - "We Stand on Their Shoulders": A History of Wisconsin Women and Voting In-Person
The traveling display “We Stand on Their Shoulders”: A History of Wisconsin Women and Voting will be at the Fond du Lac Public Library through most of October, across from the library's circulation desk. The display explores moments when women in Wisconsin gained political rights and highlights a few key leaders. Covering the ratification of the 19th Amendment, 1921 Wisconsin Equal Rights Act, 1924 Indian Citizenship Act, and 1965 Voting Rights Act, the eight-panel display shares the important story of women’s quest for political rights and recognition through quotes, photographs, and a timeline of events.
The Wisconsin Historical Society currently provides this display to schools, public libraries, historical societies and civic organizations in Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin History Makers Tour will bring history directly to local communities in every region of the state through pop-up exhibits, object displays, public programs, outdoor installations, and other activities.
The History Makers Tour is presented by Culver’s and is made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, Grant Number: MA-253159-OMS-23.
