Beginning in the 19th century, women marched, petitioned, and campaigned tirelessly for the right to participate in elections. Throughout the various groups and eras of activism, suffragists wore specific styles of dresses, sashes, and footwear as they marched through city streets.
The Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum will celebrate the opening of their newest special exhibition, "Walk this Way: Footwear from the Stuart Weitzman Collection of Historic Shoes," with a presentation on how suffragists embraced fashion as part of their fight to win the vote.
Panelists include Jessica Brannon-Wranosky, Ph.D., a distinguished professor of digital humanities and history at Texas A&M University-Commerce, and Christy Crutsinger, Ph.D., a professor in the University of North Texas Department of Merchandising & Digital Retailing.
The event includes a reception and self-guided special exhibition tours, followed by the program.
