The Empire Suffrage Syllabus

The Empire Suffrage Syllabus

#EmpireSuffrageSyllabus seeks to enrich our historical understanding and pedagogy by placing the U.S. suffrage movement in a much broader context—temporally, thematically, and geographically—than it has traditionally been conceived. Viewing the struggle for the vote as only one piece of women’s quest for greater power, the project charts the expansive scope of women's political activities, focusing in particular on their involvement in a wide range of social movements. Above all, it insists that recognition of the U.S. as an empire and an appreciation of the intertwined development of democracy and imperial power is crucial for understanding how, why, and when some women obtained the vote, while others did not.

Online Biographical Dictionary of the Woman Suffrage Movement in Women and Social Movements in the United States, 1600-2000

The Online Biographical Dictionary of the Woman Suffrage Movement in the United States is a freely-accessible resource now containing 3,250 biographical sketches of grassroots women suffragists. When complete the database will include crowdsourced biographical sketches of more than 3,500 women suffrage activists, primarily concentrated in the period 1890-1920. This collection includes white and black suffragists, mainstream and militant suffragists. The sketches place women's suffrage activism within the frame of women's broader social reform agendas, before and after the passage of the 19th Amendment in August 1920.

Transgender in the Heartland: Transitioning and Seeking Community in Middle America in Women and Social Movements in the United States, 1600-2000

This document project, created by Jamie Wagman, consists of oral history interviews, including both audio files and transcripts, of twenty transgender women and men who grew up or currently live in the Midwest, many in small towns and rural areas. The interviewees’ narratives, as Wagman writes, show that “there is no singular way of coming out or transitioning as transgender, just as there is no singular formula for finding support and community.
