From the 1913 suffrage parade to the 2017 Women’s March, Washington DC has been home to some of the largest protests organized by women in US history. Join us at the Belmont Paul Women’s Equality National Monument on Saturday November 2nd from 10-2 PM to for a pop-up exhibit that explores the history of women’s protest. Featuring objects from the collections of the Alice Paul Center for Gender Justice and the Belmont-Paul, this exhibit highlights materials women used in public protests during the suffrage fight and the fight for the Equal Rights Amendment, and the 2017 Women’s March.
