AIGA Get Out the Vote: Empowering the Women’s Vote
Submitted By: Nancy Bernardo
AIGA Chapter: New York
Artist Statement: Many diverse women took a stand during the years leading up to 1920. This year marks the centennial of their stand, granting most women the right to vote. Yet this victory was limited. The amendment did not cover Native Americans, women living in some of the U.S. territories, women of Asian descent, and others excluded from obtaining citizenship. In addition, many African American women were systematically prevented from voting, notably in the South, until the civil rights movement in the 1960s.
This poster represents some of those heroines such as: Mabel Ping-Hua Lee, Zitkála-Šá (Gertrude Bonnin), Fannie Barrier Williams, Nannie Helen Burroughs, Sofia Reyes de Veyra, and Milagros Benet de Newton. My hope is that ALL women will vote this year in honor and remembrance of those who came before us.
