TOWER FELLOW - ELLEN TEMPLE
UT Tower Fellow’s Project Highlights Southern Women’s Suffrage Movement
Ellen Temple’s documentary film, “Citizens at Last,” shines a light on how women won the right to vote in Texas
Ellen Temple has years of experience documenting Texas women’s history — in fact, she is a pioneer in the field. She collaborated with researchers and academics to publish “Citizens at Last: The Woman Suffrage Movement in Texas,” a seminal work that compiled over 30 key documents illuminating the stories of the women who fought for and won the right to vote in Texas. But, when she came to Tower Fellows, Temple had a new vision for bringing these women’s stories to life: a documentary film.
Read about Ellen Temple's path to create a documentary film during her Tower Fellows Program experience.
