How did a movement that spanned 70 years finally win women the right to vote? Who were the key players and what claims did they make as they advocated for women’s enfranchisement? How have women used their right to vote since the 1920s? What are women’s current voting patterns and what are the implications for the 2008 elections?

This dynamic event will screen part of the illuminating documentary One Woman, One Vote. This film chronicles the fledgling alliances that grew into a sophisticated and powerful mass movement that forced Congress to amend the Constitution.

Professor Christine Stansell, Fallon Wilson, and Jamila Celestine-Michener will engage participants through a panel discussion that further examines how women have influenced the direction of our nation.

Tuesday, May 13, 2008 | 5:00–6:30pm | Rockefeller Memorial Chapel

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright will deliver the Thomas Garrigue Masaryk Lecture on Democracy on May 13th, 2008 at the Rockefeller Memorial Chapel. The lecture will celebrate the connections between the Czech Republic and the University, and it is intended to be a forum for discussion on the fate of small nations and the future of democracy in the contemporary world.

Albright’s visit will mark the 90th anniversary of the independence of Czechoslovakia and the special relationship between Czechs and the University. Before her address, Albright will sign copies of her latest book, Memo to the President Elect: How We Can Restore America’s Reputation and Leadership, from 2:00 to 3:30pm at the University Bookstore.

Chicago Society, the Prague Committee of the Chicago Sister Cities International Program, and the Czech government are sponsoring Albright’s visit and the events.
