The Dawn of Tomorrow:
Oregon Jews and Woman Suffrage
January 19 – May 6, 2012
The Dawn of Tomorrow: Oregon Jews and Woman Suffrage explores the sometimes equivocal participation of Oregon’s Jewish community in the six campaigns that ultimately gave Oregon women the right to vote in 1912. From views voiced by local rabbis to the anti-suffrage sentiment expressed in Portland’s Jewish press— the exhibit uses local newspaper accounts and photographs to weave together an intriguing story.
