How did a movement that spanned 70 years finally win women the right to vote? Who were the key players and what claims did they make as they advocated for women’s enfranchisement? How have women used their right to vote since the 1920s? What are women’s current voting patterns and what are the implications for the 2008 elections?
This dynamic event will screen part of the illuminating documentary One Woman, One Vote. This film chronicles the fledgling alliances that grew into a sophisticated and powerful mass movement that forced Congress to amend the Constitution.
Professor Christine Stansell, Fallon Wilson, and Jamila Celestine-Michener will engage participants through a panel discussion that further examines how women have influenced the direction of our nation.

The Jane Addams Hull-House Museum is part of UIC College of Architecture and the Arts and serves as a dynamic memorial to social reformer and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Jane Addams (1860-1935) and other resident social reformers whose work influenced the lives of their immigrant neighbors as well as national and international public policy. The Museum's exhibits and public programs preserves and develops the original Hull-House site for the continuation of the historic settlement house vision, linking research, education, and social engagement.
