August 2020 marks the 100 th anniversary of the high water mark of the Women’s Suffrage movement with the adoption of the 19 th Amendment securing the right to vote for millions of women in this country, but sadly not much first-hand account audio of this historic achievement exists. In this edition of WUKY's award-winning history program, Saving Stories, Nunn Center Director Dr. Doug Boyd shares audio from a 1990 interview with Austin P. Lilly , daughter of Kentucky suffragette Anna Dudley McGinn Lilly. Austin and her mother attended the 1920 National American Women's Suffrage Association Convention in Chicago; along with a who's who of other Kentucky notables including Madeline McDowell Breckinridge and Sophonisba Breckenridge.
