From the 1912 Oregon Victory to the 1920 Ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment.

In August 2020 the nation will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, which placed women's voting rights into the United States Constitution. Most Oregon women had been voting citizens since achieving woman suffrage in 1912. This presentation will detail how and why Oregon women and their allies achieved voting rights in 1912, and how various Oregon women contributed to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment.

Kimberly Jensen is Professor of History and Gender Studies at Western Oregon University in Monmouth, Oregon.

10:00 AM - Wednesday - Wild Wood Coffee House

Discuss "American Wolf: A True Story of Survival and Obsession in the West" by Nate Blakeslee at Wild Wood Coffee House.

From the publisher, "The enthralling story of the rise and reign of O-Six, the celebrated Yellowstone wolf, and the people who loved or feared her.

Before men ruled the earth, there were wolves. Once abundant in North America, these majestic creatures were hunted to near extinction in the lower 48 states by the 1920s. But in recent decades, conservationists have brought wolves back to the Rockies, igniting a battle over the very soul of the West.

With novelistic detail, Nate Blakeslee tells the gripping story of one of these wolves, O-Six, a charismatic alpha female named for the year of her birth. Uncommonly powerful, with gray fur and faint black ovals around each eye, O-Six is a kind and merciful leader, a fiercely intelligent fighter, and a doting mother. She is beloved by wolf watchers, particularly renowned naturalist Rick McIntyre, and becomes something of a social media star, with followers around the world."
