Description
Librarian of Virginia Sandra G. Treadway, Ph.D. will present "A Lady's Place is in the House [of Delegates]: Virginia Women in Politics, 1909-2009."

Virginia Commonwealth University commemorates the centennial anniversary of the founding of the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia, which took place Nov. 20, 1909, at 919 W. Franklin St. -- now VCU's Crenshaw House. The ESL became the League of Women Voters of Virginia in 1920, one year after women won the right to vote.
