The story of woman suffrage is different in every state. Women of New Jersey spent decades trying to break men’s lock on political power in the state. Resistance to equal political rights was powerful. In the end, it took federal action, through the 19 th Amendment, to get the job done here. Highlights of the long history will be presented in this talk.
