Recasting the Vote: How Women of Color Transformed the Suffrage Movement (November 2020) is a collective biography of six suffragists of color that encourages us to expand our understanding of who fought for the vote and why.
New Mexico’s Hispanic women’s advocacy of suffrage and their work with the National Woman’s Party reminds us that Spanish was also a language of suffrage. Armed with economic security and the political clout of long-established Spanish-speaking families, New Mexico’s Hispanic women represented a formidable political force.
