2020 is the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage and this program celebrates one of the central figures in the movement. Elizabeth Cady Stanton fought for equal rights for Women for over fifty years. Upon her death in 1902, she left behind a legacy of her crusade for female equality in a myriad of writings that would inspire feminists for over a century to come. Keyes crafts her dramatic presentation of Elizabeth Cady Stanton from these sources creating an informative and inspiring presentation.
Laura F. Keyes graduated from the University of Wisconsin at Madison with a Master’s Degree in Library Studies and is a lifetime member of the Association of Lincoln Presenters. Laura recently won the Excellence in Performing Award from that Association.
