Fort Walla Walla - Women in History

August is important to women’s history as August 18 is the anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment to the United States Constitution, guaranteeing American women the right to vote. 2011 marks the 91st year of national suffrage, as well as the 101st year of Washington state voting rights for women. 
The celebration will feature regional dignitaries speaking about changing women's roles over the past century. Demonstrations in the pioneer settlement may include spinning, quilting and other traditional women's arts of the 19th century.
