{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Maine Suffrage Trail: Road to the 19th Amendment","slug":"MaineSuffrageTrail","podcastDescription":"In 2020, the William G. Pomeroy Foundation awarded every state five roadside markers to commemorate suffragists and locations in which suffrage activity took place. These donations were routed through the National Votes for Women Trail, a project of the National Collaborative of Women’s History Sites.\n\nIn Maine, the Maine Suffrage Centennial Collaborative (MSCC), spearheaded by Anne B. Gass, managed the process of identifying suffragists and locations, securing approval from the Pomeroy Foundation, and obtaining permission for markers to be erected.\n\nThe Pomeroy Foundation’s guidelines for the marker program stipulated that the suffrage activity had to have been in service to the passage of the 19th Amendment through which most women won the right to vote, and it had to be documented. Ultimately, we decided to fundraise separately for two additional markers, one to honor Black suffragists, and another to honor an Indigenous woman who fought for Native voting rights.\n\nAs a side benefit, the additional two markers provide a template that can be used to erect markers recognizing other women in Maine for their contributions to women’s rights.\n\nOur journey to commemorate Maine’s suffrage story and its activists took many twists and turns. We are grateful for the guidance we received from so many people on how to research and recognize all the women who did so much to win suffrage. More work remains to be done to recognize BIPOC activists, but the seven markers are a good start in bringing Maine’s suffrage history the recognition it deserves","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/16726306/2022_April_Suffrage_Trail_Booklet_WEB_VERSION_zdh822.png","podcastShareLogo":null,"podcastUrl":"https://MaineSuffrageTrail.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":false,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/MaineSuffrageTrail/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pu/pbblog-hk27k-ff3922","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":17,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-04:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-4,"text":"(GMT-04:00) Atlantic Time (Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Halifax"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":6,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"League of Women Voters of Maine","engagementStatsBaseUrl":null,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-hk27k-ff3922-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://r4j68.app.goo.gl/?link=https%3A%2F%2FMaineSuffrageTrail.podbean.com%3Faction%3DopenPodcast%26podcastId%3Dpbblog16726306%26podcastIdTag%3Dhk27k&dfl=https%3A%2F%2FMaineSuffrageTrail.podbean.com&utm_campaign=pb_web&utm_source=podbean_web&utm_medium=dlink&imv=670&amv=530&isi=973361050&ibi=com.podbean.app.podcast&ipbi=com.podbean.app.podcast&apn=com.podbean.app.podcast","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#8fc31f"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

In 1854, Sen. Thomas McCulloch Hayes of Saco asked the Maine legislature to consider women’s voting rights, but it was not until the 19th Amendment was fully ratified that most Maine women won the right to vote (Native Americans would not be fully enfranchised until 1967).
