historic sites of suffrage

Historic sites of suffrage are locations that played significant roles in the movement to secure voting rights, particularly for women. Key sites include the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, where activists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott organized the first women's rights convention in the United States. Other important locations include the Wyoming State Capitol, where women first gained the right to vote in 1869, and the National Woman's Party headquarters in Washington, D.C., which pushed for the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920. These sites reflect the struggle and progress in achieving electoral equality.
