Four Women, an Open Car, and a Cause
Thursday, March 5, 7 pm

Brookline Public Library, Hunneman Hall, 361 Washington Street. A lively, illustrated presentation retracing the 1915 cross-country road trip of four women gathering support for women's right to vote.

Historian Anne Gass retraces the route of four women, who in September 1915, embarked in an open car from San Francisco’s Panama Pacific International Exposition to Washington DC. They were carrying a petition to President Woodrow Wilson and Congress demanding an amendment to the US Constitution enfranchising women. They battled their way across the country, driving over primitive roads and through blazing heat, rain, snow, and mud, stopping in towns to collect signatures and to raise awareness that most women in the country were denied the vote. The 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote, was passed by Congress in 1919, and ratified in August 1920. The presentation is free and open to the public.

In order to protect our musicians and audience during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the Brookline Symphony Orchestra regrets to announce that our 10th Anniversary Celebration concerts scheduled for March 14 & 15 will be cancelled.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. We look forward to seeing you at a future concert - please save the date for our Triumphant Finale on May 30, 2020.

We intend to reschedule this event. No date yet.
