Votes for Women Celebration

Come celebrate the 100th anniversary of the ratification of women’s right to vote by attending Kirk Players’ "Votes for Women" Celebration!

In 1920 the ratification of the nineteenth amendment of the U.S. Constitution granted the right to
vote to all U.S. citizens regardless of their sex. To honor this historic event, Kirk Players will
present the popular suffrage play A Woman’s Influence by Gertrude Jennings. Written in 1909
during the height of the movement, the play explores the topic of conditions for women working
in factories and the interesting relationships between men and women during the struggle.
