Women's suffrage lecture

A program offered this week by the League of Women Voters of Glen Ellyn and the Glen Ellyn Historical Society will commemorate 100 years of women's suffrage.

At a time when voting can feel more like an obligation than a privilege, one can easily forget it took more than 72 years for American women to win the right to vote.

On Thursday night, historian Leslie Goddard will present an illustrated slide lecture that explores the long struggle from 1848 - when the first call was issued at Seneca Falls - to 1920, when women finally gained suffrage. The lecture will begin at 7 p.m. on Zoom.

The event is free but preregistration is required.
