Stopping by the League of Women Voters' table at the farmers' market last Saturday, I ran across some friends. We started talking about how important it is to get the word out to vote. I've spoken with elder women I know who told me how important voting has always been to them. We tend to forget how hard our predecessors fought for the right to vote.
Well the League has a great way to help us remember... The Stone
that Started the Ripple is a humorous yet historical representation of the
return of the women who initiated the crusade for women's right to vote. Using
their actual words from the 1800's, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
Sojourner Truth, and Lucretia Mott offer commentary on the status of women's
issues today. Written by local author, Pat Nugent.
All proceeds benefit the League of Women Voters of Saratoga County. One performance is being offered, on Wednesday, August 26th at 7 PM in Skidmore College’s Filene Hall.
