Dr. Susan Goodier, author and professor of history at SUNY Oneonta, will present “Votes for Women: Examining the Women’s Suffrage and Anti-Suffrage Movements Through Political Cartoons” at 5 p.m. Monday, September 18 in Touhey Forum, Thelma P. Lally School of Education. The talk is the Constitution Day lecture. The topic also coincides with the centennial of suffrage for women in New York State.
Political cartoons have been used since the 18th century to succinctly illustrate contentious issues, and their use is still common in publications today. Explore the value of the vote to the suffragists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries compared to the value of the vote to people today.
