Artifact Overview
In 1913, National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) activist Rosalie Jones led a well-publicized hike from New York City to Washington, D.C. Jones's "army" of suffragists hiked more than 200 miles in 20 days, distributing literature and delivering speeches along the way. Olive Schultz piloted the group's scout vehicle. Reaching Washington on March 3, the hikers joined thousands of demonstrators in a NAWSA-organized suffrage procession.

In recognition of the passage of the 19th Amendment, here are 19 objects from our collections that highlight the women's suffrage movement.
