Good morning, Whitewater
There are no scheduled public meetings for the City of Whitewater, today.
In our schools, over at Washington School, there will be a book fair today.
The Wisconsin Historical Society notes that February 26th marks the anniversary of the day in 1912 when “local women met at the library and formed the Rock County Women’s Suffrage League. The group elected Mrs. A.P. Lovejoy as their president.” (Note: Mrs. A.P. Lovejoy — so very British and proper.)
The 19th Amendment, adopted in eight years after the Rock County meeting, gave the local group what it wanted: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.”
