The Frick at Your Fingertips this Week
Today, August
18, marks the 100th anniversary of women's right to vote across the
United States. This year, in celebration of this landmark occasion, the Frick
is highlighting stories of women who made, appear in, collected, and took care
of our collection in an online mini-series. These stories also remind us of the
many thousands of women who had to fight for their right to vote until the
Voting Rights Act of 1965 and beyond, even today.
