Details	March is Women’s’ history month, commemorating and encouraging the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history. The OWISM continues to celebrate the impact of women on the rich history of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine since its founding in 1893. 2020 is the 100-year anniversary of the ratification of the nineteenth amendment. The 19th amendment guarantees all American women the right to vote. Achieving this milestone required a lengthy and difficult struggle; the ratification was certified on August 26, 1920, changing the face of the American electorate forever. The Johns Hopkins University in conjunction with all of the Divisions of the University has joined together to highlight this important milestone. The SOM is pleased to announce Elaine Weiss, part of the JHU faculty family, will be the keynote speaker at the 2020 Mary Elizabeth Garrett Lecture on March 11, 2020 at 4:00pm in the Chevy Chase Auditorium. Elaine Weiss is an award-winning journalist and writer whose work has appeared in The Atlantic and The New York Times, as well as in reports and documentaries for National Public Radio and Voice of America. She is the author of The Woman’s Hour, the gripping story of how America’s women won their own freedom, and the opening campaign in the great twentieth-century battles for civil rights. Please put this event on your calendar and make all efforts to attend.
