Events › Author Visit: Caitlin Cass

New Yorker contributing cartoonist Caitlin Cass will discuss her book Suffrage Song, which traces the fight for women's suffrage in the U.S. from the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This intersectional history of women and voting rights chronicles the suffrage movement's triumphs, setbacks, and problematic aspects with humor and heart.
