Constitutional Conversations: The 19th Amendment

The fight for women's rights didn't begin—or end—with the 19th Amendment. In this thought-provoking finale of our constitutional amendments series, History Colorado curator Shaun Boyd joins historians Dr. Susan Schulten and Dr. Nikki Gonzalez to explore the long, complex journey toward women's suffrage. From the religious revivals and reform movements of the early 1800s to the Seneca Falls Convention, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and the transformative impact of the 14th Amendment, this conversation uncovers the many paths that shaped women's political and economic rights. Along the way, they highlight the often-overlooked experiences of Indigenous, Mexican, and Hispana women in the American West, revealing how their stories challenge familiar narratives of US history.
