March is Women?s History Month
Fort Scott Kan. ? Fort Scott National Historic Site is celebrating Women's History Month in March with weekly Saturday interpretive programs. ?Though in 1861, the constitution of the newly created state of Kansas includes ?the rights of women to participate in school district elections?, it wasn?t until 1919 that Kansas ratified the 19th Amendment,? said Betty Boyko, Superintendent, Fort Scott National Historic Site. ?This series of programs around Women?s Suffrage and the 19th Amendment is the beginning of a larger discussion the park will host throughout the year.?
