Online Biographical Dictionary of the Woman Suffrage Movement in the United States (OBD) (Web)

The first installment of the OBD is freely accessible online at this Link since March 2019.

Edited and compiled by Thomas Dublin, as part of the online database and journal, WOMEN AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS IN THE UNITED STATES, and published by Alexander Street, the OBD is the work of hundreds of volunteers who have researched, written, copyedited, and fact checked the first 950 biographical sketches that appear in this first installment.

The editors expect to add about 500 bio sketches every six months going forward and by June 2021 to have completed the project with some 3,300 bio sketches accessible online.

Divided into three sections, the OBD will include substantial numbers of Black women suffragists, militant suffragists associated with the National Woman’s Party, and mainstream suffragists of the National American Woman Suffrage Association.

The collection of biographies is divided into the following themes:

• Militant Suffragists of the National Woman’s Party
• Black Women Suffragists
• Mainstream Suffragists of the National American Woman Suffrage Association
