The first 41 women in Cambridge to register and vote in the 1920 election will be featured in a new exhibit in 2020. The CHS Museum is honoring these women during the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendement. These women helped to capture the wider history of women in the United States. They were business owners, mothers, grandmothers, teachers and farm wifes. The women of Cambridge marched in parades in white dresses. This became the uniform for the suffrage movement. A photo was taken of them during a Fall Festival parade around 1910. The exhibit will be open for touring during summer and fall 2020. Visit our Facebook page to see photos and bio of many of these women.
