"August 2020"--Page iv

"In 2020, to celebrate the centennial of the passing of the 19th amendment, the National Endowment for the Arts made grants to organizations producing arts projects related to the fight for women's suffrage. But the agency has been supporting women artists since its establishment in 1965. One of the first grants the agency awarded was in 1966 to the Martha Graham Dance Company to support its first national tour in 15 years. The Arts Endowment has continued to support projects by women-run and women-oriented organizations and many projects we support are designed to help women enter a career in the arts"--Page iv
