“From Seneca Falls to the Supreme Court, New York Leading the Way” An online exhibit from the Hall of Governors in New York. Description: Women’s history in the Empire State goes hand in hand with New York’s history as a progressive leader. From education to healthcare to civil equality, women have been the driving force behind almost every reform movement in our state. While they may not have always been the individuals passing the laws, women were writing the policies, organizing campaigns and generating public awareness. For far too long, these efforts were often omitted from the history books, undermined or forgotten completely. This exhibit will tell the stories of some remarkable women and how they led New York and the nation.

"Women of the Nation Arise! Staten Islanders in the Fight for Women's Right to Vote"  An  online exhibition from the Staten Island Museum. Description: Stories of Staten Island suffragists focusing on four tactics they used in the decades-long struggle for political change before they could vote: education, organization, agitation, and publicity. As the site of the first flight for woman suffrage in the United States, Staten Island provided a distinctive setting for suffrage activism.
