Take a whirlwind tour through the 72-year fight for the woman’s vote with Nancy B. Kennedy, author of Women Win the Vote! 19 for the 19th Amendment. In her program, “Choosing to Conquer: The Women Who Won the Vote,” you’ll be immersed in this epic civil rights battle through a trove of historic and current-day photos.
