The League of Women Voters of Columbia-Boone County is marking the centennial of both the national and local organizations Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Tim Dollens, a library associate and past president of the Genealogical Society of Boone County and Central Missouri, presented a study on local suffragists called “Women Who Made a Difference: Columbia’s Suffrage Movement” at the Columbia Public Library.
At the event, members of the league and the public celebrated the 100th anniversary of women’s right to vote and the change of the name of the local club from “Columbia Equal Suffrage Association” to “League of Women Voters of Columbia.” Boone County was added to the name in 1967.
