For a long time in the United States, women were denied the right to vote, which is also called suffrage. But, in the late 1800s and early 1900s, many people began fighting for women’s suffrage. Maria Guadalupe Evangelina de Lopez played a key role in the women’s suffrage movement. As a teacher and translator at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Lopez joined the Votes for Women Club. She was the first person to translate suffrage speeches into Spanish. She also gave her own speeches, in both Spanish and English, and published an article supporting equal rights for women in the Los Angeles Herald. Lopez’s work helped unite the efforts of Latina and White suffrage activists. The women’s suffrage movement would achieve its aims in 1920.
