The fight for women’s rights has never been confined to a single time or country.

Across the world and its history, artists and activists have used posters to make the case for political equality. These often include bold colors, striking symbols, and unforgettable calls for change.

This collection of international suffrage posters reminds us that the demand for the women’s vote was part of a larger global movement for citizenship rights and political representation.

On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced that more than 250,000 enslaved people in the state were free. The day became known as Juneteenth, a celebration of resilience and community.

As we reflect on this day, we also remember that freedom and equality have never been guaranteed. The fight for full citizenship, voting rights, and equal protection under the law continued long after emancipation and remains part of our nation’s ongoing story.

At the National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House, we recognize Juneteenth as an opportunity to learn, reflect, and honor the generations of Black Americans who expanded the meaning of freedom in the United States.

Please note that the Museum is closed today, June 19, in observance of the holiday. We look forward to welcoming visitors when we reopen tomorrow.

Before we marched on to our next city, members of our SUFFS company had the opportunity to visit the Susan B. Anthony House — and it was a visit none of us will soon forget. Thank you for welcoming us, sharing your history, and marching alongside us. We'll carry a little piece of Rochester with us.

On this day in 1963, the Equal Pay Act was signed into law.

More than sixty years later, women’s earnings have risen from about $0.59 to $0.81 for every $1 earned by men — progress, but not equality.

The fight for economic justice continues.

"It was a long-held belief in American society that the right to vote only belonged to citizens who could defend their country militarily, which in turn was used as a reason to deny women suffrage. Women's service in World War I proved to the nation and the world that American women were patriotic, loyal, and capable citizens who were indispensable to the war effort."
