President Wilson, how long must this go on, no liberty? Let me repeat—we are not putting our faith in any man or in any party but in the women voters of the West.
— Inez Milholland in her final public words at Blanchard Hall, Los Angeles, California, October 24, 1916

In Standing Together: Inez Milholland’s Final Campaign for Women’s Suffrage (2016 - 2020), Jeanine Michna-Bales has created a unique glimpse into the American Women’s Suffrage Movement retracing the 1916 National Woman’s Party Campaign by highlighting one courageous suffragist’s brutal journey crisscrossing the American west by train and motor car to persuade standing-room-only crowds to vote for the enfranchisement of women. The result of over four years of in-depth research, Standing Together, reimagines the campaign trail through landscape and still-life images combined with reenactment portraits to form a powerful narrative that is supported by a diverse sampling of ephemera, including newspaper clippings, magazines, letters, itineraries, and more.

This exhibition was created to reframe our country’s understanding of the 19th Amendment and highlight the 120+ year battle that went into gaining the right to vote for American women. The suffrage story is a prescient one and ties directly into current social justice issues facing women, challenges such as gender and racial equality, voting rights and suppression, gerrymandering, and even apathy. By creating a powerful combination of historical context with contemporary images, STANDING TOGETHER, provokes in-depth conversations on the repercussions of events from the past.
