Hello, all.
At last, the talk on New Mexico woman suffrage I was to present at the Special Collections Library in March 2020 is here!    It will be at Botts Hall ( in person only) on August 13.  Details below.

I will focus on women who won the vote in NM and what they have to teach us as we face persistent gender-based inequity in the US.

I would love to see you there for the talk and discussion.

Ganaron el Voto: Woman Suffrage and Suffragists in New Mexico

The 46-year-long campaign for woman suffrage in New Mexico is rich and deep. Hundreds of women were involved. But, as with other aspects of women’s lives, most of their stories—political, economic, social—are not found in history books or taught in schools. In this presentation, we look at an overview of that history and focus on some of the suffragists whose contributions to that struggle are still being unearthed in family lore, memoirs, songs, newspapers, and a few precious, oft-quoted scholarly works.
 
Presenter Sylvia Ramos Cruz is a retired general and breast surgeon, poet, writer and women’s rights activist.
