Join us in celebrating the 100th anniversary of Women’s Suffrage with award-winning journalist and author Elaine Weiss as she discusses her latest book The Woman’s Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote. The book covers the story and struggle women had to face to obtain the right to vote.  Elaine Weiss has been recognized with prizes from the Society of Professional Journalists, and her by-line has appeared in The Atlantic, Harper’s, New York Times, Boston Globe, Philadelphia Inquirer, as well as reports and documentaries for National Public Radio and Voice of America. Her long-form writing garnered a Pushcart Prize “Editor’s Choice” award, and she is a proud MacDowell Colony Fellow. Her first book, Fruits of Victory:The Woman’s Land Army in the Great War was excerpted in Smithsonian Magazine online and featured on C-Span and public radio stations nationwide.
