The Smithsonian, National Archives, and Library of Congress have launched a social media campaign for the month of August, #19SuffrageStories, to bring stories of suffragists and their fight for voting rights to social media. The campaign marks the centennial of the 19th Amendment and features stories of 19 suffragettes who often have been overlooked.

The institutions seek to leverage their collections to share more inclusive, diverse, and lesser-known stories about American women and voting. This campaign aims to increase awareness that the 19th Amendment did not grant citizenship to all American women and the fight for the vote didn’t end in 1920. Every weekday in August until August 26, stories of women and voting will be shared on @Smithsonian, @USNatArchives, and @LibraryCongress Instagrams and Twitter. All are encouraged to follow along with each day's story while creating their own content to add to the conversation using the hashtag, #19SuffrageStories.

Animated social media GIFs and Instagram stickers inspired by the institutions' collections also are available to be used in social media posts to motivate younger audiences to express a sense of ownership over American women's history.
