Celebrate the 19th Amendment: Women’s Right to Vote! This powerful production allows students to experience the battles fought — and ultimately won — for women’s suffrage told in the voices of the brave warriors who fought them, as well as those who fought — and still are fighting — for civil rights for all. “Petticoats of Steel” uses primary sources to tell the true stories of the women, specifically those of New York State, including Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth, Ida B. Wells, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton — and the roles they played in gaining voting rights for  women in the United States.
