North Dakota Women's Suffrage Centennial & Your Library

In September, 2019, South Dakota Historical Society Press will release Equality at the Ballot Box: Votes for Women on the Northern Great Plains, a collection of essays about how women won suffrage rights in several Northern Great Plains states including North Dakota. Three essays in the book focus on North Dakota events: "Quiet Voices in the Prairie Winds" by Barbara Handy-Marchello, "Kate Selby Wilder: Clubwoman, Suffragist, Temperance Activist, and City Commissioner" by Ann W. Braaten, and "Cora Smith Eaton and North Dakota Woman Suffrage, 1888-1897" by Kristin Mapel Bloomberg. The essays on North Dakota suffrage are the first to be published on this state's woman suffrage campaigns.
