Landing After Hours - Soothing the 'Savage Hearts of Man:' Women’s Suffrage & Rural Missouri
Rural areas were often ignored by national and eastern women's suffrage organizations, but women's suffrage groups in the Midwest learned by the late 19th century that these areas must also be targeted to win the hearts and minds of the electorate. In this program, historian Elyssa Ford will share how rural women in Missouri played an important role in the suffrage movement. Across the state, rural communities engaged in suffrage discussions, invited national speakers who bewitched – and sometimes enraged – local audiences, and supported their own suffrage workers.
