VOTES FOR WOMEN NY
PBS' "HISTORY DETECTIVES" "Votes for Women" segment featured Louise on the background and importance of the New York campaign. Now you can hear the whole uncensored story in your school or community auditorium. When New York women won the right to vote in 1917, they changed the national political landscape. The victory was a critical tipping point on the road to a constitutional amendment. This talk brings to life the alliances across lines of class and race in New York City that won the day and the brilliant use of urban landmarks -- the Statue of Liberty, Fifth Avenue, Carnegie Hall-- as props for political spectacle.
