Washington, DC
Sunday, March 3, 2013

Kristen Gwinn-Becker, historical consultant for the National Women's History Museum, joins us to mark the 100th anniversary of a historic march for women's rights. On March 3rd, 1913, on the eve of Woodrow Wilson's presidential inauguration, thousands of women marched down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House in support of women's suffrage. It was another seven years before they received the vote with the signing of the 19th Amendment, but the march marked a turning point in the movement. Ms. Gwinn-Becker will be interviewed on C-SPAN's morning show, the Washington Journal.
