All aboard the Illinois Suffrage Special! Zachary Michael Jack takes you back in time to 1913 in his original play, Votes for Women! The play made its debut at North Central College as part of Illinois’ Bicentennial celebration.
This historical drama features a Chicago Tribune reporter and three extraordinary women bound for Washington DC. Their only goal is to fight for equality in the Land of Lincoln. These women include Virginia Brooks, Belle Squire and Ida B. Wells-Barnet. For historical accuracy, the performance uses direct quotes from My Battle with Vice by Virginia Brooks, The Woman Movement in America by Belle Squire, and The Red Record by Ida B. Wells.
