This NatGeo issue documents how women around the world are rising up to demand civil, personal, and professional rights.
This story is part of our November 2019 special issue of National Geographic magazine, “Women: A Century of Change.” Read more stories here. The first scene in the history of National Geographic doesn’t have a single woman in it. It occurred on January 13, 1888, when 33 men of science and letters gathered in a wood-paneled club in Washington, D.C., and voted the National Geographic Society into existence.
You can see the shift begin with one grainy picture from the archive, shown above. It captures crowds surrounding a Washington, D.C., parade of women seeking the right to vote—which they got when the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified in August 1920. Our coverage through 2020 will celebrate the centenary of that victory. And of course, that was just a start.
