“It is so very important to share with our younger generation this oftentimes untold story of the 72-year+ struggle to gain the voting rights for women. 

We hope that the words, stories, and actions of our ancestral Suffragist sisters will inspire youth to keep carrying the torch of equality and keep marching for justice.” 

~ Artistic Director, Michelle Gehrz
