California Suffrage Campaign and Memorabilia 


CALIFORNIA WOMEN WIN THE VOTE DVD
The Campaign becomes a role model and motivation for the rest of the country. Today the tactics and spirit of these women are a guide and inspiration for citizen activism in a democratic society. No matter what state you hail, this battle for the right to vote shows how to embrace diversities and interests for a common cause. This is history and personalities, art and argument, a foundation of civil rights here and throughout the world.  BONNIE FRANKLIN

CALIFORNIA SUFFRAGE BOOKMARKS 
Front of the bookmark is the California Woman Suffrage logo with the words Celebrating California Women Winning the Vote. 
Backside of the bookmarks says:
100 Anniversary of California Women Voting In 1911,
California became only the 6th state in the United States where women could vote; nine years before the passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. 100 years ago, California women and supportive men created an innovative and strategic cam­paign to win the right to vote. Despite strong opposition, the struggle for women's political equality was waged without violence by supporters from all walks of life. When the final vote was counted, Woman Suffrage just narrowly passed. The margin of victory was only 3,587 votes – an average of one vote in each voting precinct in the state! Celebrate the Centennial of Woman Suffrage in California on October 10, 2011.
