Week 10: Work

This visualization shows the types of offices campaigned for over time across all states. Our project discusses why the types of offices campaigned for changed over time.

We are splitting visualizations between us at this point and also working on a map that shows the increase of campaigns by state and year which will correspond to a timeline or time chart that reflects when those states allowed women to vote prior to 1920, if they did.

We also want to discuss the women that are not represented in this data.

After discussion, we chose to have an entry on the course blog with embedded visualizations and also photographs and ephemera related to women campaigning, working, and voting over the years 1900-1920.
