A compact and compelling account of the women’s suffrage movement – its drawbacks, tensions, intersection with other movements, and ultimate triumph with the passage of the 19th amendment. Informative and imaginatively staged, using double casting to effectively convey the multiple generations of women involved - while still taking the time to tell us something about each of them. Pointed humor keeps it from ever getting dry, and the songs effectively evoke the time period.
