A New Exhibit and Four New Research Guides From the Library of Congress: “Shall Not Be Denied: Women Fight for the Vote”

From the Library of Congress:

As part of its yearlong initiative to Explore America’s Changemakers, the Library of Congress has created numerous research guides highlighting women’s contributions to many fields, including science, business, civil rights, suffrage, and more.  These guides combine a focus on the Library’s diverse collections, both digital and physical, along with research strategies and external resources selected by the Library’s subject specialists.

Of special interest are a series of research guides related to the national commemoration of the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage and the Library’s newest exhibition [at LC and online] entitled “Shall Not Be Denied: Women Fight for the Vote”:

• Women’s Suffrage in the Moving Image and Recorded Sound Collections
• Marching for the Vote: Remembering the Woman Suffrage Parade of 1913
• Mary Church Terrell: A Resource Guide
• Harriet Tubman: A Resource Guide

Additional guides in the “American Women” series focus on materials found in the Library’s collections:

• American Women: Resources from the General Collections
• American Women: Resources from the Geography and Map Collections
• American Women: Resources from the Law Library
