This program will look at the Women's Rights Movement in Iowa after the Seneca Falls convention, focused largely on the efforts of Amelia Bloomer, a Seneca Falls resident who attended the 1848 women's rights convention and moved to Council Bluffs, Iowa in 1855. Additionally, it will begin to pinpoint how the movement was perceived and advanced in a rural, western state as opposed to a more developed eastern state.
