WATCH: At Home with a National Park Service Ranger: Raising Money for the Women's Suffrage Movement

In this week's "At Home" video series, we will be focusing on #WomensHistory and the #19thAmendment! Today's video features National Park Service Ranger Sara Karpinksi talking about the fundraising efforts by the Women's Suffrage Movement. The Women's Suffrage Movement, like other political movements, cost an enormous amount of money. In addition to direct donations, they had to come up with creative ways to get funding, but also get support to spread their message. They had to have something we would call today, "on brand" but also sell items that people wanted to purchase. As part of these fundraising efforts, the suffragists sold cookbooks to counter the anti-suffragists argument that if women would get the right to vote, they would be neglecting their duties at home.
