Rebecca Boggs Roberts
Suffragists in Washington DC
The Great Suffrage Parade was the first civil rights march to use the nation's capital as a backdrop. Despite sixty years of relentless campaigning by suffrage organizations, by 1913 only six states allowed women to vote. Then Alice Paul came to Washington, D.C. —marking the beginning of a more aggressive strategy on the part of the women's suffrage movement.
Author Rebecca Boggs Roberts narrates the heroic struggle of Alice Paul and the National Woman's Party as they worked to earn the vote. Ms. Roberts is a journalist on the national stage and is also daughter of Cokie Roberts. Books will be available for sale.
