Please join us in September when we feature Dr. Jennifer Ross-Nazzal, noted scholar of women’s history, historian at the NASA Johnson Space Center for DB Consulting Group, and author of Winning the West for Women: The Life of Emma Smith DeVoe, published by the University of Washington Press.

She will tell us about her research and explain the dedication and determination of Emma Smith DeVoe, a lifelong worker for a woman’s right to vote. A leader in the suffrage movement, DeVoe has been overlooked in the history books until now with the release of this new publication.

It all started in 1856, at the age of eight in an opera house in Roseville, Illinois, when Susan B. Anthony called for the supporters of woman suffrage to stand. Eight-year-old Emma Smith rose by herself. Choosing to take a stand for the rest of her life, she stumped across the country to organize for the cause, and helped to make the West central in securing the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment.

Winning the West for Women is a fascinating account that ends with a discussion of DeVoe’s pioneering leadership for women in the Republican Party. The story provides an insight into a time when women first began to exercise the right to vote and became recognized as active members of political parties.

Her book will be available for purchase after the meeting, or you can bring your own copy for her to sign.  Winning the West for Women is available at most bookstores and online.
