Suffrage in Oklahoma: Women's History, Activism, and Politics in the Sooner State
Oklahoma City | Registration opens 1/6/2025 12:00 AM CST
The suffrage movement in the United States led to the formation of the 19th Amendment. However, here in Oklahoma, women's suffrage took a much different route. From Aloysius Larchmiller giving her life to the cause, to the grassroots movements of Kate Barnard and Wanda Jo Peltier, to the vision of motherhood presented by Alice Robinson and Mary Fallin—the fight for suffrage encompasses a vast portion of our state history.
