A Yellow Rose Project is a photographic collaboration of responses, reflections, and reactions to the 19th Amendment from over one hundred women across the United States.

In 2020, the United States marked 100 years since the ratification of the 19th Amendment. A century earlier, women wearing yellow roses gathered in Tennessee as lawmakers decided whether they would be granted a voice in government.

A Yellow Rose Project began as a reflection on that moment, inviting over one hundred photographers to respond to the centennial of the Amendment that expanded, but did not guarantee, voting rights for all. Today, the project lives as a traveling exhibition, a published book, and an evolving conversation about equity, representation, and the creation and erasure of histories.
