Fight for the Right: 100 Years of Women Voting (Temporarily Closed)

Note: The Museum is temporarily closed effective November 12, 2020 until further notice due to Sacramento County’s move back to purple tier status by the California Department of Public Health.​​

Featuring artifacts, historic photographs and interactive activities, Fight for the Right: 100 Years of Women Voting is an all-new temporary exhibit chronicling women’s struggle for the right to the vote from the mid-19th century to the ratification of the 19th Amendment on Aug. 26, 1920, drawing parallels to the ongoing fight for women’s equality that continues today.

Developed in collaboration with First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, who served as California’s representative on the Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commission, the project launched on Aug. 26. 2020, marking the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment’s ratification.
