Women received the right to vote in 1920. In February 2019, the Commemoration Committee for the 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment Committee was formed. The co-chairs were Nell Reardon and Deb Kitko. Soon after the committee formed, it became apparent that much research would be necessary to create a list of those local individuals who were involved in some way with the Women's Suffrage Movement.
