Description

A century after the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment giving women the right to vote, the uncertainty that foreshadowed the suffrage victory foreshadows the precariousness of women’s rights. “Finish the Fight!”, a rallying cry from the struggle to win the final battle of the women’s voting rights movement once again characterizes the ongoing demand for full gender equality and is the focus of the show's ninth episode. Four distinguished guests join Common Ground host Jane Whitney to discuss the history of the women’s movement and the hurdles that remain.
