Event Details

September 17th is National Voter Registration Day. Celebrate voting with a screening of the documentary film One Woman, One Vote.

How could America call itself the world's greatest democracy, but continue to deny the right to vote to more than half of its citizens? This film documents the struggle which culminated in the passing of the 19th Amendment in the U.S. Senate by one vote. Witness the 70-year struggle for women's suffrage. Discover why the crusaders faced entrenched opposition from men and women who feared the women's vote would ignite a social revolution.

Narrated by Susan Sarandon 
Produced by the Educational Film Center (EFC) for PBS 
Film runtime: 106 minutes
