Deeds Not Words, Presenting Suffragist Alice Paul
Militant suffragists, under Alice Paul’s leadership, finally took women’s suffrage over the finish line in 1920 after a 75-year battle. Everything was stacked against them – but their determination was underestimated. How might their strategies inform the challenges we now face during yet another oppressive time in our nation’s history? The League of Women Voters of Albany County hosts speaker Patricia Nugent, who explores what we can learn from the suffragists' resilience and determination to achieve justice and inclusion.
Nugent, a past president of the LWV of Saratoga County, has been a school administrator and adjunct communication professor, and now writes to
give voice to those who might otherwise be silenced. She has been a student of the women’s suffrage movement for many decades, feeling a deep personal connection to those who opened up opportunities for women, and writes and presents about the task left unfinished: Ensuring equality of rights under the law for women.
