EMANCIPATION! “War if We Must!” Journey back to a time when women, oppressed and underestimated by society, fought valiantly against the status quo to achieve the rights that we enjoy today.  Suffragettes UNITE! is a theatrical portrayal of select woman’s suffrage leaders’ speeches orated during the long battle for the woman’s right to vote.  Ann Mitchell opens her ‘women’s convention’ with the impassioned words originally spoken by Sarah C. Owen in Rochester, NY.  Mitchell’s passionate portrayal features the charm and rhetoric of the 19^th language written and spoken by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott and Susan B. Anthony.  The one – woman costumed performance culminates with a musing, “On Being A Woman” written by Ogden, NY school teacher Sarah Jennie McCleery in 1883.
