More about Allison's talk and latest book:

For as long as women have battled for equitable political representation in America, those battles have been defined by images. Picturing Political Power offers a comprehensive look at the connections among images, gender, and power. In this examination of the fights that led to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, Allison K. Lange explores how suffragists pioneered one of the first extensive visual campaigns in modern American history. She shows how pictures, from engravings and photographs to colorful posters, were central to suffragists’ efforts to change expectations for women and oppose the norms of their time.
