Mapping Indiana’s Suffrage History featuring Melissa Gentry
Ms. Gentry’s multimedia story-maps depict some of the people and places connected to the history of women’s suffrage.

Complete with ups, downs, sometimes dramatic and “less than ladylike” but always colorful individuals and events, her talk incorporates historic photographs, correspondence, diaries, club minutes, oral histories, movies, newspapers, music, and artwork from the collections of Ball State University.

With these sources, she introduces national and Hoosier women suffragists like Ida Husted Harper, Madam CJ Walker, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, and Lucretia Mott while highlighting Hoosier cities connected to the local and national suffrage movements.
Melissa Gentry is the Map Collection Supervisor at the Ball State University Libraries’ GIS Research and Map Collection.
