OUR FALL 2020 EVENT
Mountain View might have been a small farming community when women were fighting to win the right to vote , but that doesn ’ t mean this community wasn ’ t active ! As part of nation-wide celebrations honoring the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment , the MVHA ’ s fall 2020 webinar will focus on the stories of how Mountain View area women mobilized to help secure the right to vote over a century ago .
