The League of Women Voters celebrates its 90th birthday with a film

& discussion, followed by a reception with live music in the Sky Room

Narrated by Susan Sarandon, this gripping documentary deals with the 70-year battle which started in Seneca Falls in 1848 for women’s suffrage, the struggles both of the leaders and the women who fought alongside them. From Elizabeth Cady Stanton to Susan B. Anthony to Alice Paul, the film follows the fight for equal rights. Though the US called itself the world’s greatest democracy, more than half of its citizens were denied the right to vote. And yet the struggle for equal suffrage split the movement apart, pitting those who were more militant in their approach against women with more conventional strategies of education and lobbying. As the women’s movement began nationwide mobilization, the “militants” faced imprisonment, riots, and entrenched opposition from anti-suffrage groups, U.S. Congress, and the powerful liquor industry. The vote in Congress was passed in a hotly disputed one-vote victory in 1920.
