The Vote
Women weren’t given the right to vote. They took it.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment which gave women in this country the right to vote. While the global pandemic has put a damper on many of the planned celebrations and exhibitions, on Monday July 6 and Tuesday July 7 The American Experience on PBS presents The Vote.

The Vote, is a four-hour, two-part documentary series, that tells the dramatic story of the epic crusade waged by American women for the right to vote.  Focusing primarily on the movement’s final decade, the film charts American women’s determined march to the ballot box, and illuminates the myriad social, political and cultural obstacles that stood in their path.

The Vote premieres Monday and Tuesday, July 6-7, 2020, 9:00-11:00 p.m. ET (check local listings) on American Experience on PBS, PBS.org and the PBS Video App.
