Ask a Suffragist author April Young Bennett at Utah Women 2020 mural Salt Lake City Utah

I celebrated the 100th anniversary of the #19thamendment by finding images of living and historical Utah women on the mural and telling my son about these great role models. Can’t wait to look up some of the faces who were new to me! #suffragecentennial #suffrage100
