All is Possible: Women's Suffrage in California

Join our Archivist as she leads a brief tour of our 2020 Exhibition, "All is Possible: Women's Suffrage in California."
The exhibition explores the history of the local, state, and national suffrage movements to mark the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which granted women in America the right to vote.
The exhibition’s title was inspired by Los Angeles activist Caroline Severance’s motto, “Nothing is impossible for organized womanhood.” The suffrage movement’s success depended in large part on the groundswell of state initiatives and the organization of local women’s clubs at the turn of the century. As the sixth state to allow women to vote in 1911, California served as a turning point, with a population large enough to double the eligible women voters in the country.
