Three Living Literature performers offer a 40-50 minute collage of writings & speeches of Susan B. Anthony, Clara Barton, Jane Adams, Alice Paul, Elizabeth Buffum Chace, Sojourner Truth, and Frederick Douglass among others, as they share the journey of the women’s struggle for equality that led to the passing of the 19th Amendment.

This program, made possible by a grant from the League of Women Voters of RI Education Fund, shares the complex story of the more than seventy-five year struggle for women's right to vote, and the individual voices that both led and impeded the way to it's completion.
