"The Whole Loaf: Women's Struggle for Equality" by Susan L. Nenadic (Bicknell Lecture Series: 09/20)

For more than 80 years after Michigan became a state in 1837, women fought for the right to vote. Their goal was to overcome the obstacles that stood in their way and to achieve the ultimate victory – Universal Suffrage for Women! Michigan ratified the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution on June 10, 1919 and it was officially adopted on August 26, 1920, after two-thirds of all states ratified it. Author/Presenter: Susan L Nenadic is a retired high school teacher of English and History. She is the author of A Purse of her Own: Occupations of Nineteenth Century Women and Legendary Locals of Ann Arbor, as well as many articles. Ms. Nenadic provides programs throughout Michigan and teaches adult learning classes. She is a former board member of the Washtenaw County Historical Society, for which she was in charge of museum exhibitions. She is currently a member of the Ann Arbor Street Exhibit Educational Committee. More importantly, she is president of a non-profit organization, Friends of Amoru, which is building and financing a school in rural Uganda. All of her speaking fees are donated to Friends of Amoru. About the Bicknell Lecture Series: In 1987, Dr. Frank Bicknell, a long time Grosse Pointe resident and well-known Detroit Medical Center urologist, celebrated his 80th birthday.

This fund established the Dr. Frank Bicknell Lecture Series; all Bicknell Lectures are free of charge and open to everyone.
