Join us for an exclusive local history talk on women's suffrage in Mountain View, presented by Mountain View Historical Association president, Pamela Baird.

Attendees will learn about the courageous local women whose efforts helped pass an amendment to California's state constitution granting women the right to vote in 1911, nine years before the 19th Amendment enfranchised women nationally.

This talk will present research gathered from the Mountain View Register-Leader newspapers at the Mountain View History Center, City archives, and other online sources.
