Angela P. Dodson will talk about her 2017 book “Remember the Ladies,” which details the long-fought struggle for voting rights in America.
On Saturday, April 14, from 2 to 3 p.m., the Alice Paul Institute will host an author talk and book signing for Angela P. Dodson and her 2017 book “Remember the Ladies,” which details the long-fought struggle for voting rights in America.
According to the Institute, Dodson’s inclusive approach to this history explores the contributions of activists from various movements, women and men of different races, religions and politics who helped bring about the victory to secure the right to vote for women. Her story does not stop in 1920 with the 19th Amendment, but documents women’s political gains in the 98 years since that milestone.
Copies of the book “Remember the Ladies” will be available for purchase and author’s signing following the talk..

Tours will be offered at noon and 1 p.m. The author talk begins at 2 p.m. Paulsdale is located at 128 Hooton Road.
