We hope you can join us for what is going to be a fascinating conversation with author Caitlin Cass on her book, "Suffrage Song: The Haunted History of Gender, Race and Voting Rights in the U.S." Part graphic novel, part map of the suffrage movement, this book tells the story of the fight for the right to vote by women from the very beginning.
