Maybe you know that American women won the vote in 1920. But how did they do it? In this suffrage show-and-tell, author Nancy B. Kennedy shares artifacts and photos from the 72-year fight for the woman’s vote using her children's book, “Women Win the Vote! 19 for the 19th Amendment.” Following the program, children will have the opportunity to make their own inspirational pin. This program is free and open to the public. For more information, email info@susanbanthonybirthplace.org   Who is the speaker? Nancy B. Kennedy is a journalist and the author of eight books. She was born in Rochester, New York, where suffragist Susan B. Anthony lived as an adult. For many years, she worked in newspapers and magazines as a reporter and editor. Her books have been praised by Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, School Library Journal and Booklist. Nancy lives in Hopewell, NJ, with her husband, John.   Where and when will it take place?
