CollectionCorona Virus Pandemic 2020 CollectionDate2020-08-18CreatorPalos Verdes Local History Center, Palos Verdes Library DistrictContributorLegg, GeorgeLegg, ChristinaDescription'August 18 2020 marked the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote. We have been involved in a number of activities planned to commemorate the Suffrage Centennial, but the Coronavirus pandemic overturned many of those plans. With large gatherings banned, rallies, parades and marches became non-starters, so we decided to do a feminist-themed jigsaw puzzle to honor the Centennial, completing it on August 18th. The puzzle, titled "Well Behaved Women Seldom Make History," depicts a "Herstory" museum featuring portraits of a number of celebrated and accomplished women throughout history. George is wearing the "Votes for Women" t-shirt he planned to wear in the Suffrage Centennial Commemoration march that the PV Library District and other PV community organizations had planned to conduct on March 13th 2020 - the march was one of the earliest events to have to be cancelled due to COVID-19.
