    The suffrage movement in the United States led to the formation of the 19th Amendment. However, here in Oklahoma, women's suffrage took a much different route. From Aloysius Larchmiller giving her life to the cause, to the grassroots movements of Kate Barnard and Wanda Jo Peltier, to the vision of motherhood presented by Alice Robinson and Mary Fallin - the fight for suffrage encompasses a vast portion of our state history.
