DiMartino has a master’s degree from Rutgers, and “has done important work on the suffrage movement," Norwich city Historian and memorial committee Chairman Dale Plummer said.

Less than two years after the end of World War I, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was passed, extending the right to vote to women, 50 years after in 1870, the 15th Amendment had expanded the right to vote to men regardless of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
