Herrett Forum Distinguished Speaker Series Presents:
Idaho became the fourth state to grant women the right to vote in 1896—25 years before the nation. But the road there wasn’t simple. From fierce opposition by miners to unexpected allies in surprising places, this talk unpacks the debates, alliances, and bold women that made Idaho a leader in the fight for suffrage.
