Dwana Taylor had a very fascinating discussion of the women's suffrage movement and the 19th Amendment. This was about the struggle for women to gain the right to vote in the USA. She also discussed a related suffrage movement in Britain with Emmeline Pankhurst. Dwana told us about how women activists were arrested, jailed, and forced-fed when on hunger strikes. It was an outstanding educational opportunity on an important subject. (Dwana and Jennie helped organize our IWD event at SVDP-ALC, and deserve our special recognition!)
