We’re excited for our next UWHEN – University of Utah Chapter Book Club discussion about “Stories from Suffragette City” By M.J. Rose (Editor). Huge thanks to the J. Willard Marriott Library for their generous and ongoing support of our Book Club!

“Stories from Suffragette City” is a collection of short stories that all take place on a single day: October 23, 1915. It’s the day when tens of thousands of women marched up Fifth Avenue, demanding the right to vote in New York City. “The difficulties women faced in gaining the vote, like much of women’s history, are often overlooked or forgotten or marginalized. Many younger women do not even know the story of the movement. It behooves us all to make a concerted effort to commemorate the triumphs of women and to tell their stories to the next generation. Victories cannot be taken for granted.”

Love it, hate it, or find yourself somewhere in the middle, come share your insights through active discussion with other women in higher education!
