Archives On The Air 241: We Already Have The Vote — Agnes Wright Spring Papers
1:00 Agnes Wright Spring was a Wyoming writer and historian. And she was a young suffragette just before the 19th amendment granted voting rights to women in 1920. She was on vacation in New York City in 1916. While there, she and a friend were asked to canvas apartment houses for the Equal Suffrage Association to identify women who wanted to vote. Spring recalled: "We would go to a big apartment house and select a buzzer on a top floor. If the owner buzzed open the door, we would then enter and work our way up. Some doors slammed in our faces at the words 'Equal Rights.'"
