Celebrating Women's Suffrage History in the United States

First Historical Marker​ Honors Susan Look Avery

The first marker to honor women of the suffrage movement was dedicated on March 6, 2019 at The Woman’s Club of Louisville in Louisville, KY to commemorate the work of Susan Look Avery. She held the 1881 American Woman Suffrage Association’s national meeting in her home with speaker Lucy Stone and Henry Blackwell. She was a friend to Susan B. Anthony, Jane Addams, Booker T. Washington and other reformers.  

The National Collaborative for Women’s History Sites is a non-profit organization established to support and promote the preservation and interpretation of sites and locales that bear witness to women’s participation in American history. NCWHS is dedicated to making women’s contributions to history visible so all women’s experiences and potential are fully valued. Visit: www.ncwhs.org
