    More than a century before Tina Fey said “Bitches get stuff done,” a group of mouthy bitches gathered in Seneca Falls, New York and got stuff done. After women were refused seats at the World Anti-Slavery convention, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott decided that women needed a convention of their own. Told through contemporary stand-up comedy, Sex Convention is the story of the women who first demanded the right to vote, and why they almost didn’t. Each woman on her own is smart, funny, weird, and deeply flawed — and worth more than a footnote in the history books. Together, they are a bunch of hilarious, hopeful women who almost certainly never knew that they had changed the world.
