Iowa Suffrage Memorial Commission.

Hide Profile

The Iowa Suffrage Memorial Commission was organized "to commemorate the efforts of the Pioneer Suffragists and the long procession of workers who helped to secure the final enfranchisement of women." The commission succeeded in having a bronze bas relief erected in the state capitol building in Des Moines, which was unveiled on May 10, 1936.

The commission also made a cabinet available in the Historical Memorial and Art Building in Des Moines for the preservation of documents relating to the suffrage movement in Iowa. Iowa was the first state to create such a memorial of this type.
