SUMMARY:America\, Ohio\, and Huron-Linked in History
DESCRIPTION:“Let Ohio Women Vote” Documentary Film 
 Discussion\n\nProfessor Hamlin served as the historical consultant for the 
 CET/Think-TV documentary “Let Ohio Women Vote” and is available for 
 screenings and/or discussions of the 60-minute film\, produced by Ann 
 Rotolante. “Let Ohio Women Vote” chronicles the role of Ohio women in 
 securing the vote — from Frances Wright\, who in 1828 became the first 
 woman to speak in public in Cincinnati\, to Oberlin graduate Mary Church 
 Terrell who became the founding president of the National Association of 
 Colored Women in 1890 — and highlights Ohio’s important role in 
 women’s activism. The film points out the vital links between abolition 
 and women’s rights and connects the story of the 19th Amendment to 
 ongoing debates about voting rights and voter access. Viewers will be 
 encouraged to think about what issues propelled women into activism\, the 
 role of race/racism in securing women’s right to vote\, and the 
 connections between women’s personal and political lives.\n\nArrive at 
 5:00 to watch a screening of the movie OR watch the movie at home 
 (https://thinktv.org/let-ohio-women-vote) and arrive at 6:00 for the 
 discussion. \nProfessor Hamlin will be joining us via Zoom.  \n\nSpeaker:  
 Kimberly A. Hamlin is a historian specializing in women\, gender\, sex\, 
 science\, and politics. A recent recipient of a National Endowment for the 
 Humanities (NEH) Public Scholar Award\, Hamlin regularly contributes to the 
 Washington Post and other media outlets\, and she lectures widely on topics 
 related to women and gender. Her latest book\, Free Thinker: Sex\, 
 Suffrage\, and the Extraordinary Life of Helen Hamilton Gardener (2020)\, 
 reveals the remarkable story of the “fallen woman” who changed her 
 name\, reinvented herself\, and became the “most potent factor” in 
 Congressional passage of the 19th Amendment as well as the highest-ranking 
 woman in federal government. Hamlin is actively involved in local and 
 national suffrage centennial activities including guest editing\, together 
 with Cathleen Cahill and Crystal Feimster\, a special suffrage centennial 
 issue of the Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. Hamlin’s 
 previous book\, From Eve to Evolution: Darwin\, Science\, and Women’s 
 Rights in Gilded Age America (2014)\, analyzes the U.S. reception of Darwin 
 in terms of gender and provides the first full-length study of women’s 
 responses to evolutionary theory. Hamlin has received the Carrie Chapman 
 Catt Prize for Research on Women and Politics\, the Margaret Rossiter 
 History of Women in Science Prize (from the History of Science Society)\, 
 and the Emerging Scholar Award from the Nineteenth Century Studies 
 Association\, in addition to research fellowships from the New England 
 Regional Fellowship Consortium\, the Huntington Library\, the Sophia Smith 
 Collection\, and others. Hamlin has also published on the origins of the 
 Miss America Pageant\, the Girl Scouts\, bearded ladies\, women running for 
 president\, and the Equal Rights Amendment. She has appeared on various 
 public radio shows on both NPR and CBC and contributed to multiple PBS 
 documentaries. Since 2007\, she has taught History and American Studies at 
 Miami University in Oxford\, Ohio. She lives in Cincinnati where she 
 co-hosts the Mercantile Library’s Allgood-McLean “Women You Should 
 Know” Book Discussion Series. For more information\, please visit
