We know we could never tell the stories of every single woman in Northern Utah, we would love your help on adding to the history. Fill out this form and tell us about the women who know who have strengthened, shaped and served their communities.
In 1920, the United States government ratified the 19th Amendment by changing its constitution to give women the right to vote.
The 19th Amendment is more than giving women the right to vote. It recognizes women as citizens of this country by further defining who “we the people” are in the United States Constitution.
Beyond Suffrage
We invite you to honor and draw inspiration from past and present women whose significant roles and achievements have shaped the limitless opportunities and possibilities that await present and future generations.
The 19th Amendment is not a triumphant culmination, but a milestone in a struggle for equal rights for all citizens. One that isn’t over yet.

The suffrage story is an excellent reminder that voting is an important civil right that cannot be taken for granted.
