When Woodrow Wilson arrived at the train station the day before his Inauguration in 1913, he found almost no people to greet him. A policeman told him, "They're all at the Suffrage Parade". That would be the first, but certainly not the last time, that President Wilson would find himself following or being followed by "all these women" pressing for Woman Suffrage in his Administration. Follow the drama of the last years of the battle for women to finally get the vote in America in this new play on a timeless subject - VOTING RIGHTS FOR ALL!
