Publisher's Synopsis
Commemorations are currently remembering the centennial of women's suffrage in several European countries and the United States. While, on the surface, early historiography of the history of women's suffrage has opened the way for the discipline of women's and gender history since the 1970s, several concerns, such as the collection and preservation of suffrage heritage, stereotypes and prejudices, and political contextualization, have challenged ways and possibilities both to write this history and to remember women's equal inclusion in political participation. This issue seeks to explore the politics of suffrage memory, addressing both the historiography of women's suffrage and its impact on the commemoration of women's enfranchisement, especially also in relation to national celebrations of universal suffrage.
