Online Discussion: “Pickets & Persistence: American Women’s Fight for the Vote”

Carol Simon Levin, author, professional storyteller and independent historian will be hosting an informal Q&A zoom meeting on women’s suffrage on Thursday April 16, 2020 at 4PM PDT/7PM EST.

Prior to the meeting, participants can view her program Pickets & Persistence: War Service & Woman Suffrage in which Carol portrays Jeannette Rankin, America’s first female member of Congress, telling the intertwined stories of women’s suffrage activism, war service, and the political calculus that finally brought about the passage of the 19th Amendment.

Participants are also invited to freely download and peruse her book Remembering the Ladies: From Patriots in Petticoats to Presidential Candidates which profiles 69 women of all colors and creeds who worked to make a place for women in American politics. Links to her book, her radio interview on the curious incident of early female suffrage in NJ, and her other programs can be found at tellingherstories.com.

Carol holds a B.A. focusing on women’s history and history of technology from Cornell University and a Masters in Library Science from the University of Arizona. She is the founder of Telling Her Stories, a costumed history program service.
