Crafting the Narrative: The Role of Public Relations in the Suffrage Movement

Crafting the Narrative: The Role of Public Relations in the Suffrage Movement explores how early activists created one of history’s most successful communication campaigns. This lecture explores how suffragists masterfully employed every available media tool – from media relations outreach to media monitoring and more – to transform their vision into reality. Discover how movement leaders like Susan B. Anthony crafted compelling narratives, managed sophisticated message campaigns, and pioneered modern public relations techniques even before public relations became a formal profession. Their strategic approach to changing hearts and minds offers invaluable lessons for today’s communicators and social change advocates.
