Movie Night at Wilson House:
What 80 Million Women Want --?

March 21, 2019, 8pm - 6pm

This Women's History Month, Wilson House turns the spotlight on Women's Suffrage with a 1913 silent film shown in President Wilson's library - the same room he enjoyed films of his day!

Featuring appearances by British suffragist Emmeline Pankhurst and American suffragist Harriet Stanton Blatch (daughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton) this silent film tells the story of a young suffragist and her lawyer boyfriend who are targeted by corrupt political operatives seeking to suppress their cause. (Willard Louis, 1913, 56 minutes)

Join museum staff afterwards in a discussion of the film and its contemporary relevance.  

Light refreshments are available for purchase. The Library is an intimate space so tickets are limited - register soon to guarantee a seat!
