AN UNFINISHED REVOLUTION

THE WOMEN’S SUFFRAGE CENTENNIAL

An Unfinished Revolution: The Woman’s Suffrage Centennial was an exhibition at the Greenwich Historical Society marking the 100th anniversary of this crucial piece of legislation.

Told through stories of several of these notable figures,An Unfinished Revolution features original objects from the Greenwich Historical Society collections, as well as photographs, manuscripts, protest banners, items of clothing, and other material from museums, libraries, and private collections.
