| | The right to vote is a fundamental principle of democracy. From 1917 – 1920, The New York Times published over 3,000 articles, editorials, and letters about the women who were fighting for, and against, suffrage. The HerStory Scrapbook includes more than 900 of the most interesting pieces from that period. It is the equivalent of having had someone save articles from The Times in a scrapbook for prosperity. How HerStory links work: The links to The New York Times open in a new browser window or a new browser tab, if your browser is set up for automatic tabbed browsing. The articles in The Times then open in another browser window or tab. To avoid opening too many windows in your browser, the next time you click on a The New York Times link, the webpage will appear in the window or tab that is already open, behind the HerStory Scrapbook webpage. Note for students of history: The dates in the scrapbook reflect the dates the articles were published in The New York Times. In order to give the HerStory Scrapbook a "you-are-there" feel, the text introducing each article is generally written in the present tense. However, the actual event usually occurred one or more days before the article was written. In most cases, the articles detail the actual dates for key events.  | The HerStory Scrapbook is recommended by the National Women's History Project. In 1987, the National Women's History Project convinced the US Congress to designate March as Women's History Month. |
