What Today's Movements Can Learn from Women’s Suffrage

Lucinda Robb talks about the passage of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote, and the lessons modern movements can learn from one of the longest - and ultimately successful - civil rights movements in American history.  Lucinda has been interested in the suffrage movement since her time at the Center for Legislative Archives, where she was director for an education project on the hundreds of thousands of petitions that women sent to Congress.  Lucinda has a book coming out this fall with her co-author Rebecca Roberts titled The Suffragist Playbook:  Your Guide to Changing the World.  She also serves on several nonprofit boards including the National Archives and Running Start, which trains young women to run for office.
