With only about a dozen statues of women in the Capitol, developing a tour that incorporates the multitude of voices that make up the woman’s suffrage movement was a unique challenge. In this episode, staff at the Capitol Visitor Center discuss both the creation and the execution of the Votes for Women Tour, an interpretative journey commemorating the 19th Amendment and the Women's Suffrage Movement.

Guest speakers (in order of appearance): Maureen O'Connor, Education Specialist; Emily Boisvert, Jessica Jackson, and Alyssa Warrick, Visitor Guides, U.S. Capitol Visitor Center.
