The 100th anniversary of women’s right to vote with suffragists Susan B. Anthony, Ida B. Wells and Alice Paul will have a celebration at 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 29 with a Zoom video conference. Known for their activism for women’s suffrage, these strong women will share their experiences that culminated in the passage of the 19th Amendment.
Alice Paul used hunger strikes to make her voice heard among lawmakers and politicians and Ida B. Wells came to Chicago and worked to secure the rights of African American women. Susan B. Anthony will talk about her travels across the United States to build support for a constitutional amendment.
Sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Central Kane Country, all are welcome to attend the live 40-minute presentation remotely on Zoom. Links to the program will be given by request through August 29 at noon by sending an E-mail to info@LWVCKC.org.
