A VOTE FOR WOMEN

A Vote for Women: Celebrating the Women’s Suffrage Movement and the 19th Amendment charts the history of the women’s suffrage movement in the U.S., the fight for the vote, and some of the advances that have resulted from that victory.

Researched, written, and designed to the highest of standards, with major contributions from the likes of the National Park Service and the National Women’s History Museum, and a detailed selection of archival photography.

As Senior Designer I accompanied every step of the publication from working on the cover, inner editorial design and selecting materiality such as papers and special Pantone colours to designing endpapers and print proofing.
