Dr. Jamie Capuzza will present a 45-minute illustrated program on Thursday, March 14 at 7:15 p.m. at Kendal about Ohio's contributions to the historic women's suffrage movement. The presentation will draw from her 2023 book, with the same name as this program. The title was inspired by Ohio being the fifth state to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment. Highlights of the program will include pivotal state conventions, leaders of the movement, and the perseverance the movement required. Be sure to listen for some Oberlin connections as well. Dr. Capuzza is a professor in the Department of Literature and Communication Arts at the University of Mount Union in Ohio. Full Story
