In the early 1900's, many women fought against getting the vote, but none with more charm, prettier clothes - and less logic - than the fictional speaker created by pro-suffragist Marie Jenney Howe. Dressed in period costume, professional actress Michele LaRue performs Howe's witty, insightful 1912 monologue, then puts the seemingly illogical, ludicrous and even elitist arguments of the anti-suffragists in their sociological, historical and political context. The program is funded by the Horizons Speakers Bureau of the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
