Race, Gender, and the Suffrage Movement: Bitter Flower, A Play and Conversation
Join us for a screening and conversation about Bitter Flower, a play that explores the relationship between two major figures of the suffrage movement, Ida B. Wells-Barnett and Jane Addams.
The powerful dialogue examines the racism of the white suffrage movement and the undervalued work of Black suffragists. A post-screening conversation on past and present intersectional feminism will follow.
