Hear My Voice – the Struggle for Woman Suffrage

April 6, 2017, 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

This dramatic and inspiring presentation by Rachel McClinton of Living Voices combines a dynamic solo performance with archival film and sound, turning history into a moving and personal journey.  The central character is Jessie, the daughter of a Political columnist from Tennessee, growing up in Washington, DC, during the early 1900s with dreams of being as important to her father as her younger brother. As tragedy strikes both at home and abroad and the battle for the vote continues to escalate, everyone in Jessie’s family must face their own decisions about what they believe is right and the actions they are willing to take on this pivotal issue. This play engages school age children through adults, and it will appeal to history buffs as well as those who know very little about the suffrage movement. Hosted by the National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House at the Rochester Academy of Medicine.
