Women Politicking Politely

We are excited to welcome back Dr. Kimberly Voss to the Matheson History Museum to share from her book Women Politicking Politely: Advancing Feminism in the 1960s and 1970s. Dr. Voss’s presentation includes the relatively unknown stories of six important women who laid the foundation for improving women’s equality in the U.S. While they largely worked behind the scenes, they made a significant impact. In the group are two female political operatives who worked behind the scenes along with four female journalists who also worked within the government to advance women’s rights during the 1950s through the 1970s.
