Reclaiming Our Voice: New Jersey and the Fight for Women’s Suffrage

Thursday, March 19, 2026 at 7:00 pm

Professional storyteller Carol Simon Levin presents Reclaiming Our Voice. Explore the overlooked role of  NJ in the long frustrating fight for women’s suffrage. Learn how some NJ women got the vote in NJ’s 1776 Constitution, then lost it for over a century, how nationally-known suffrage advocates Lucy Stone and Elizabeth Cady Stanton staged tax and voting protests in the state, Dr. Florence Spearing Randolph brought black women into the movement and Alice Paul became the dynamo who re-energized the push for a federal amendment. This program demonstrates that women were not “given” the vote, but fought for it for generations.
