The Suffrage Press opening at The Women’s Rights National Historical Park (WRNHP)

From Women Making History: The Revolutionary Feminist Postcard Art of Helaine Victoria Press by Julia M. Allen and Jocelyn H. Cohen

  • The National Park Service had purchased the Helaine Victoria Press printshop and Chandler & Price platen press for a nominal sum in order to establish a working press to teach children about the importance of print communication in the struggle for women’s suffrage. On April 29, 1995, Patricia Antelles filmed the opening ceremonies of The Suffrage Press in Seneca Falls, NY. This segment was taken from that film.
