elcome to "How Women Won the Vote," a special Gazette published by Wthe National Women's History Proj- ect. 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. Recognizing their importance, we list here the names of suffragists in every state, each state's voting record and links to its suffrage story to encourage you to learn more. In a future issue, we plan to focus on the federal campaign ONE DOLLAR – from Susan B. Anthony's trial to national petition drives to picketing the one hun- dred years ago. Suffragists left us a great gift – an empowering heritage of pride, momentum and purpose. We

celebrate their example and those who carry on the spirit of these brave American women today.

A Remarkable Number of Suffragists

New York State contributed a remarkable roster of suffragists for a single state. From the earliest years of the movement, women rose up to demand their rights and men supported them. Some New York women moved to other states and in- fluenced residents there. This list supplements the New Yorkers named on page 11 to encourage wider recognition and further research.
