This week on KZMU News, we're hearing select pieces from Utah Women 20/20. It's a Utah Public Radio original series exploring the unique challenges - and opportunities - facing women in Utah.

In 1920, the 19th Amendment extended voting rights to women. As the 100th anniversary of the amendment approaches, one organization is creating classroom resources to help Utah students learn more about the role the state played in this historic event. This new curriculum includes photos, journal entries and other primary source documents to give students a first-person perspective on women's suffrage.
