2. Welcome to the U.S. Consulate
General Hong Kong and Macau’s
exhibit celebrating the 100th
anniversary of women’s suffrage
in the United States. By spot-
lighting several figures who
played key roles in the struggle
for women’s suffrage, this exhibit
celebrates the countless women
who fought for greater equality.
Beginning in the mid-19th
century, successive generations
of women’s suffrage supporters
lectured, wrote, marched,
lobbied, and practiced civil
disobedience to achieve what
many Americans considered
a radical change in the
Constitution—guaranteeing
women the right to vote.

3. Women in America first
collectively organized in 1848
at the First Women’s Rights
Convention in Seneca Falls, New
York. Organized by Elizabeth
Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott,
the convention sparked the
women’s suffrage movement.
The fight for women’s suffrage
was complex and interwoven
with issues of civil and political
rights for all Americans.
Signed into law on August 26,
1920, the passage of the 19th
Amendment extended the right
to vote to women across the
United States of America. The
achievement of this historical
milestone was the result of
decades of work by tens of
thousands of women and men
across the country who never
stopped believing in the justice
of their cause.
