On Wednesday, February 12th I will be attending Dr. Ellen DuBois’s lecture on “The Surprising Road to Woman Suffrage.” This talk will take place at the Porter B. Byrum Welcome Center.

I chose this event because it highlights the strides women have made from not being able to vote, up until the present day. I am considering minoring in WGS and this lecture goes along with women’s rights, a topic I am passionate about.
