In honor of Women’s History Month, One Woman, One Vote, a 1995 film created and narrated by Susan Sarandon, will be shown and discussed, as well as clips from Iron Jawed Angels, a 2004 made-for-TV historical drama.

Mr. Holden will discuss the early years of women struggling to get the vote and those who fought for decades to achieve this right, not granted until the 19th Amendment was passed in 1919.

Photos of suffragettes will be shared as well.

All events are tentatively scheduled and subject to change. Please contact Stone Harbor Library to confirm any and all event details and updates.
