Dear friends. The PBS tv show "History Detectives" has a segment where they unearth the origins of a purple and gold "Votes for Women" banner found in an upstate New York attic! I'm their historical expert and I explain how the winning of woman suffrage in NY in 1917 was the product of a new generation's activism and a tipping point on the road to the 1920 passage of the federal amendment. The show airs Tues, Sept 20th at 8pm. If you'd like to join a national network of VIEWING PARTIES in schools, clubs, historical societies, living rooms-- please let me know. It's a great teaching and community building opportunity. Plus, it's fun. For more on my NY Women's Suffrage work, please visit my website.
