“More Than White Dresses: The Grit of the Women’s Suffrage Fight”
You’ve heard of the American women’s suffrage movement. But how much do you know about the 70+ year effort that resulted in the single largest expansion of U.S. democracy? It took much more than a few parades and wearing white dresses. The women and men that fought for votes for women used every tool available and kept going despite the never-ending defeats. In this talk, with CM Marihugh, Public Historian, you’ll hear stories and see photos of those who worked for the cause in Illinois and across the U.S. Be inspired by their creativity, courage, and most of all, persistence.
Friday, March 6, 1 pm to 2 pm CT + Q & A. Zoom. $35/$30. Recorded

A DAY OF SERVICE!
Join us for a joyful day of service where WE women come together to make a meaningful difference—one small project at a time. Small teams of helping hands will form to tackle simple, doable tasks that can truly lighten someone’s load. Examples include: organizing books, offering tech support, planning a flowerbed, freshening up a closet, or even making a cheerful home visit. One supportive visit can accomplish so much! Whether you’d like to host a project that would make your life easier or volunteer to be part of a helping team, there’s a place for you. We’ll wrap up by celebrating and swapping stories of what we accomplished – together.
Happenings will be arranged to happen the week of April 13, 2026
