This exhibit has explored the role of figures at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in the struggle for women's suffrage, as well as the larger story of women's entry into the medical professions.

Neither voting rights nor professional opportunity were universally secured in 1920; many more years of struggle lay ahead, especially for women of color. Generations of activists since that time have worked to transform schools, hospitals, and the halls of government. They still face difficult questions of how to bring about a more just world within political and professional institutions.
