Dumb: The Long Road to Women's Suffrage

This is an artist’s book that shows a timeline from 1776 (the year the United States gained true independence) to 1920 (when the 19th amendment was passed; finally giving women the right to vote). The book shows all the voting law changes, wars, and suffrage events: showing how women were the last demographic group to gain voting rights. The women’s events are patched into the timeline: women are using one of their art forms of the time to reveal their important events. The book also includes four hidden readings: A letter from Susan B. Anthony to Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a letter from Elizabeth Cady Stanton to Susan B. Anthony, a speech by Sojourner Truth, and a speech by Woodrow Wilson in support of suffrage. The book was designed as an accordion book so you could view the years spread by spread or expand the entire timeline.
