Get to Know the League of Women Voters
September 15, 2015

Chris Milton & Susan Kohout made guest appearances as Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton at LWV DC event on September 15th at Björklunden. Using excerpts from the speeches, writings, and letters of Anthony and Stanton as well as their own imagination, the authors/performers created what might have been the final conversation of these icons of the women’s movement.

Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton worked together for over 50 years to fight for women’s right to vote. Although neither lived to see the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, they are arguably the most important figures in the suffrage movement.

This wonderful performance led into a conversation with attendees on the League of Women Voters. All in attendance had the opportunity to reflect on the League’s important mission – informed and engaged citizens!
