Borders & Belonging: Can a Woman be Elected President? A Conversation that Matters

2020 is the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote in the United States.  But, what is the difference between having the legal right to suffrage (for some women) and the actual practice of political power?  Join us for the "Conversations that Matter: Borders & Belonging" Series, sponsored by the UCI Humanities Center.
