The NWHP has been encouraging people to celebrate women’s suffrage anniversaries for most of our 37 year history and we are proud to publish this first of several Gazettes cover- ing the Women’s Suffrage Centennial in 2020. Our goal is to restore suffragists and the Votes for Women movement to their rightful place in American history. Here we are pleased to present brief descrip- tions of major efforts now underway to observe the suffrage centennial throughout the country. There are an increasing number of projects and efforts at the local, state and national levels to remember American suffragists and honor their hard-won success. We also mention recent events that offer ideas and encouragement so you can TM join with others and do something special for 2020 where you live, study or work. One thing we want to emphasize is that suffragists were active in all the states, often for gen- erations, and all the states eventually ratified the 19th Amendment. However, few state activists are widely remembered and the state stories are barely known.
