Attendees will hear Pat Wirth, Executive Director/CEO of the Turning Point Suffragist Memorial Association, give an in-depth look at this time in history for women, including tidbits like this:
“In 1917, they were arrested, dragged to court, then thrown into prison. Their crime? Silently picketing the White House for the right to vote!”
