In the United States, Kansas has a new mural in its Statehouse honouring women who campaigned for voting rights for decades before the 1920 ratification of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution granted those rights across the nation.

Gov. Laura Kelly and other state officials unveiled the Rebel Women painting that spans an entire wall on the first floor recently, the anniversary of Kansas’ admission as the 34th US state in 1861.
