100th<\/sup> Anniversary of Women’s Suffrage in America <\/em>Exhibition<\/strong><\/h1>\n

In collaboration with the U.S. Consulate General Hong Kong & Macau, the Main Library is pleased to present 100th<\/sup>Anniversary of Women’s Suffrage in America <\/em><\/strong>exhibition at the 2nd<\/sup> Floor Exhibition Area, Ingenium, Main Library, HKU from 26th<\/sup> July \u2013 27th<\/sup> August 2021.<\/p>\n

2020 was the 100th<\/sup> anniversary of women’s suffrage in America.\u00a0 Curated and created locally, the exhibition on “100 Years of Women’s Suffrage in America” tells the lives of eight notable suffragists in the movement: Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Mary Church Terrell, Daisy Lampkin, Carrie Chapman Catt, Lucy Stone, Sojourner Truth, and Lucretia Mott.\u00a0 Beginning in the mid-19th <\/sup>century, successive generations of women’s suffrage supporters worked tirelessly to achieve what many Americans considered a radical change in the Constitution – guaranteeing women the right to vote.\u00a0 By spotlighting these eight figures who played key roles in the struggle for women’s suffrage, this exhibition celebrates the countless women who fought for greater equality.\u00a0 Along with text panels, artwork, a timeline display, and period dress costumes and accessories, this exhibition offers an immersive experience for visitors.1<\/sup><\/p>\n
