On January 21 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Cook County Higher Education is offering a presentation about the 1913 Woman Suffrage Parade. Cost is $20 to attend.
This presentation focuses on the first national suffrage parade and the crowd violence that disrupted it. It works through the idea that women had to actually work at being perceived as public women, and the parade was one way to do that.
The session also lays the groundwork for the split that would come between NAWSA (National American Woman Suffrage Association) and the NWP (National Women’s Party)—the two big groups working for suffrage.
This is part of the Women’s History Series – Women’s Suffrage Parade, Pickets, and Prison 1913-1919 presented by Dr. Catherine Palczewski.
