Why They Marched: Celebrating the Centennial of Women’s Suffrage will be presented by Susan Ware, Organization of American Historian Distinguished Lecturer and author of numerous books on 20th c. US History. A former professor at various institutions, she has long been associated with the Schlesinger Library at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study where she serves as the Honorary Women’s Suffrage Centennial Historian.

Her book, Why They Marched, uncovers a broader and more diverse story waiting to be told, providing a fresh account of one of the most significant moments of political mobilization in American History.

Feminism and women's rights are an ongoing struggle with no clear endpoint insight and the women's suffrage movement is a vital part of that story. Her book will be available for purchase and signing after the event
