Celebrate 100 years of voting rights for women in our new 19th Amendment exhibit! On September 17, the National Constitution Center honored Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg with the 2020 Liberty Medal for her efforts to advance liberty and equality for all. Prior to her passing, the Center aired a celebratory video tribute featuring performances by internationally-renowned opera singers and tributes from special friends of Justice Ginsburg. WATCH THE TRIBUTE VIDEO Now Open: The 19th Amendment: How Women Won the Vote! To commemorate the centennial anniversary of voting rights for women, and as part of its Women and the Constitution initiative, the National Constitution Center just opened The 19th Amendment: How Women Won the Vote. This exhibit traces the triumphs and struggles that led to the ratification of the 19th Amendment, and features some of the many women who transformed constitutional history—including Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Alice Paul, and Ida B. Wells—and allows visitors to better understand the long fight for women’s suffrage.
