Hunt meets with a group of women in his office at the Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix. Arizona officially recognized women’s right to vote in 1912, shortly after becoming a state. While it was among the first states to do so, eight years before the 19th Amendment was ratified on February 12, 1920, not all women had access to the ballot. It would be decades before people of color were able to vote. The illustration of five women in 2020 is by Mary Long.
