The Music of Women's Suffrage

The Music of Women's Suffrage

The women’s suffrage movement was a decades-long fight to win the right to vote for women in the United States. It took activists and reformers nearly 100 years to win that right, and the campaign was not easy, but on August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was finally ratified, enfranchising all American women and declaring for the first time that they, like men, deserve all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. 

We have collected sheet music related to Suffrage, scanned the original sheet music and prepared 3 collections.... music related to suffrage, music of the often bizarre anti-suffrage movement, and music composed by Helen Hopekirk, a composer of times who was an active advocate for Women's Suffrage.

Each collection is a PDF file created from scans of the original sheet music and prepared for easy printing on standard size paper.
