From Parlor to Politics: Women’s Fight for the Right to Vote
Join us for the astonishing history of the vision, courage, strategic planning, networking and tenacity demonstrated to win the 72-year battle for women’s political, social and legal equality. Learn of the conditions under which 19th century women lived and what provoked them into organization and revolution for women’s right to vote. As the story and the disturbing circumstances are revealed you will be impressed and inspired by the words of four woman suffrage leaders who lived this journey and dedicated the majority of their adult lives to guaranteeing a more egalitarian society: Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Alice Paul. The story continues Tuesday evening, August 25, 7 p.m. when Annette Baldwin portrays suffrage leader and founder of the League of Women Voters Carrie Chapman Catt, who will be “at home.”
Please register in advance for this meeting (room capacity is 300. Please note that this lecture will not be recorded.)

Chautauqua: Carrie Chapman Catt
Before Carrie Chapman Catt, an Iowa school teacher, principal and superintendent of schools, was 30 years old, she began the work for which she is most lauded: a leader of woman suffrage. She possessed skills of organization, diplomacy, strategy and oratory, and in 1900 she was named the president of the National Woman Suffrage Association. In February 1920, six months before ratification of the 19th Amendment, Catt also founded the League of Women Voters, to educate women to be independent, politically-informed citizens. Join us as we visit Mrs. Catt at her home, where she has returned from Washington D.C. after the 19th Amendment has been signed into law.
Please register in advance for this meeting (room capacity is 300. Everyone who registers for the meeting will receive a link to a recording of the program which will be available to view for five days):
