Please join us for a program marking the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote.  Our guest is Mary Walton, a longtime journalist who wrote for The Philadelphia Inquirer, and the author of A Woman’s Crusade: Alice Paul and the Battle for the Ballot.  Ms. Walton will speak about Alice Paul, the young Quaker from Mt. Laurel, New Jersey who was a brilliant leader and strategist in the women’s suffrage movement and a women’s rights activist. We’ll learn how the National Woman’s Party, led by Paul, virtually invented the tactics of nonviolent civil disobedience that later protestors would use. Paul was also the author of the Equal Rights Amendment in 1923, which has yet to be adopted. This timely program will give us an opportunity to consider how the suffrage movement’s voices for civil rights have echoed through the decades to our society today.
