Hiram Johnson and Women's Suffrage 1911

John Calderwood will speak on the “Election of California Governor Hiram Johnson and the Women's Suffrage Vote in 1911.” The campaign for votes for women helped fuel the progressive revolution that brought about and resulted from the election of reformer Governor Hiram Johnson.  

Attendees may then tour the “Berkeley Women Vote: Celebrating California Suffrage 1911-2011” exhibit at the Center. Speaker and exhibit are free, open to the public, wheel-chair accessible. 
 
FYI: Berkeley Women Vote Centennial Committee, and the Berkeley Historical Society, the League of Women Voters Berkeley, Albany, Emeryville, the American Association of University Women and the Friends of the Berkeley Public Library, which make up Centennial Committee, are non-profit organizations.
