In 2020, the Alice Paul Institute will host a suffrage celebration at Paulsdale in Mount Laurel, NJ honoring the efforts of so many New Jerseyans who fought for the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote.
The Institute is working to compile a list of all the amazing women who worked for the suffrage cause. Can you help expand or enhance our lists for Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester counties, or help us connect with descendants of any of these women? Please contact Lisa Hendrickson at [email protected].
