On Oct. 21, Ann Marie McClellan, co-president of the Greater Chippewa Valley chapter of the League of Women Voters, will present “Thanks, Grandma: Celebrating 100 Years of Women’s Suffrage” during the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire – Barron County&#39;s “Thursdays at the U” lecture. The presentation will be from 12:30-1:30 p.m. in the Blue Hills Lecture Hall (Room 234, Ritzinger Hall) on the Rice Lake campu<br /><br />Women earned the right to vote nationwide in 1920 after a valiant and sometimes violent struggle. While many of us may be familiar with national leaders like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, McClellan will discuss more specifically suffragists of Wisconsin who were leaders during this long journey. She will include details about key moments of and contributors to the suffrage movement and will review recommended voter information sources the LWV uses to encourage voter participation in a nonpartisan manner.
