During #WW1, thousands of American women put on uniforms to volunteer and work for the war effort. This uniform belonged to Helen Cook who worked as Chief Operator with the U.S. Army Signal Corps Female Telephone Operators Unit. She and her fellow “Hello Girls” ran the switchboards for a telephone network that provided vital communications for the American Expeditionary Force in France. General John J. Pershing credited these women with doing “as much to help win the war as the men in khaki.” Women advocating for the right to vote wondered—if the country could ask them to work, was it *so* much to ask for the right to vote in return? Swipe ➡️ to see a postcard, created and sold by the National American Woman Suffrage Association, asked made that exact point. The National American Woman Suffrage Association began a postcard campaign in 1910, partly to raise awareness of the cause and partly as a fundraiser.
Tuesday, we’re offering an hour-long online program designed to help middle and high school students connect the history of women’s activism to today. They'll hear from scholars, activists, and history makers.
