Virginia suffragists were a remarkable group of talented and dedicated women who have largely been forgotten. As part of the Library of Virginia’s commemoration of the 2020 centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, biographies of notable suffragists and anti-suffragists have been added to the Library’s online Dictionary of Virginia Biography. Learn about some of them here.
