Suffragists & 2024 Elections In-Person / Online
Join League of Women Voters - US Board Member Kimberly A. Hamlin for an engaged discussion of the historical context of the 2024 elections, “What Suffragists Can Teach Us about the 2024 Elections” at the Southwest Harbor Public Library on Thursday, September 12th at 5:30 p.m. An award-winning historian, author, and professor, Hamlin specializes in the history of women, gender, and sex in the United States. The talk is sponsored by The League of Women Voters-Downeast. Online viewing available. Registration encouraged.
Hamlin’s work includes the Suffrage movement and activism for women’s rights, and draws a compelling through-line to the current moment. Hamlin’s most recent book Free Thinker: Sex, Suffrage, and the Extraordinary Life of Helen Hamilton Gardener (W.W. Norton 2020, paperback 2022) tells the fascinating story of the “fallen woman” who reinvented herself and became “the most potent factor” in Congressional passage of the Nineteenth Amendment and the highest-ranking woman in the federal government.
