UFM Community Learning Center will host "The Long Road to Women's Suffrage in Kansas," a presentation and discussion by Diane Eickhoff, at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 29, live online via Zoom. Kansas was historically a leader in women's rights, yet the campaign for voting rights in Kansas required more than half a century of determined effort, as women suffered setbacks in three different statewide initiatives. This presentation will explore the courageous individuals who challenged the powerful interests opposed to electoral reform and examine other firsts that women achieved on the road to suffrage. For security, please register online at www.tryufm.org to receive the Zoom program link to attend the free program.
