In this video from a 2012 University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service lecture, Bernadette Cahill, independent scholar on women’s suffrage, discusses the history of the more than 70-year campaign to recognize a woman's right to vote, as well as the links between the national campaigns and what women did in Arkansas.
Bernadette Cahill graduated from Glasgow University with an Honors M.A. in History and spent the next 30 years wondering why. She fell in love with history again when she lived in Jackson, Mississippi, uncovered a mystery there, and found herself delving into US history and earth energies. Cahill has worked for women's rights in Britain, Ireland, and the United States. A journalist and historian, she has written extensively about issues affecting women and is currently researching a book on women’s suffrage and civil rights.
