When Women Lost the Vote: A Revolutionary Story, 1776 – 1807

As we rapidly approach a historic presidential election, the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia is looking back to a little-known moment in our nation’s suffrage history: when women and free people of color were legally entitled to vote from 1776 to 1807 in Revolutionary New Jersey. The story is told in the groundbreaking new exhibition,  When Women Lost the Vote: A Revolutionary Story, 1776 – 1807 , which runs from October 2, 2020 through April 25, 2021.
