To honor the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment, Jeremi brings on Dr. Lisa Tetrault to discuss the untold history and the memory of the intersectional struggle for women's suffrage that continues in the form of voter disenfranchisement today.
To set the scene, Zachary reads his poem entitled, "The Pained Footsteps."
Dr. Lisa Tetrault is an associate professor of history at Carnegie Mellon University. She specializes in the history of gender, race, and American democracy—with an emphasis on memory and social movements. She is the author of the prize-winning book, The Myth of Seneca Falls: Memory and the Women’s Suffrage Movement, 1848-1898. A frequent commentator on the suffrage centennial, Tetrault also serves as an historical consultant for Nineteenth Amendment projects launched by the National Constitution, the Woodrow Wilson House, the Schlesinger Library, and Ancestry.com, as well as the documentary, “The Vote” ( PBS’s American Experience). The recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Radcliffe Institute, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Library of Congress, she is currently at work on a genealogy of the Nineteenth Amendment.
