The 100<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;anniversary of women\u2019s suffrage in 1920, which unfortunately occurred during COVID, was an occasion to assemble various artifacts related to women\u2019s attainment of the vote. The automobile was an important tool in the suffrage campaign. In the spring and summer of 1916, the transcontinental suffrage tour from New York to San Francisco was one of the actions taken to spread the word of the importance of the women\u2019s vote as well as &#8220;to persuade male party leaders to include woman suffrage platforms at both the Republican and Democratic national convention&#8221; (Lesh 136). The automobile was not only called upon as the primary mode of transport, but also served as a platform on which to speak and the means of a quick getaway should crowds get hostile. It is not surprising, therefore, that the anniversary of women\u2019s enfranchisement was a popular motive for a women\u2019s automotive history exhibit, even though the pandemic caused many of the displays to be postponed a year or two.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3597-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1832\" srcset=\"http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3597-1024x538.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3597-300x158.jpg 300w, http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3597-768x403.jpg 768w, http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3597-1100x578.jpg 1100w, http:\/\/chrislezotte.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3597.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8216;Women Who Motor&#8217; at the Edsel &amp; Eleanor Ford House<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gooddesigngroup.com\/women-who-motor.html#:~:text=The%20Experience%3A%20This%20temporary%20exhibit,are%20leaders%20in%20car%20manufacturing.\">&#8216;Women Who Motor\u2019 <\/a>was such an exhibit.

Such exhibitions, Knibb argues, require museums &#8220;to reassess the balance of exhibition theme and included the \u2018underside\u2019 of history, topics which have traditionally been poorly documented or under-represented in exhibition&#8221; (357). As Knibb notes, museum collections are often shaped by what the museum has \u2013 the \u2018survival of objects and the personal tastes of donors\u2019- rather than by any planned efforts to collect and develop artifacts representative of women\u2019s automotive participation (361). Perhaps increased attention to women\u2019s automotive history within the museum would plant the seed for additional informative, educational, and inspirational donations so that women\u2019s contributions would not only be pulled out for \u2018special\u2019 occasions, but would be permanently on display as integral to the museum\u2019s automotive collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knibb, Helen. &#8220;Present But Not Visible: Searching for Women&#8217;s History in Museum Collections.&#8221; <em>Gender &amp; History<\/em> 6, 3 (November 1994): 352-369.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lesh, Carla R. <em>Wheels of Her Own: American Women and the Automobile, 1893-1929<\/em>.
