The Florida Commission on the Status of Women and the Florida Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commission is working to ensure the statewide observance of the centennial of women’s suffrage in 2020. They hope to ensure the legacy of the women’s suffrage movement in Florida and shape education about women’s rights for generations to come. The Commission invites all Floridians to honor the ideals that fueled the suffrage movement and learn about the people who lead the way for women’s suffrage.
