  • Date: Friday, March 08, 2019

In her latest book, Mr. President, How Long Must We Wait? Author Tina Cassidy weaves together the storylines of the relationship between notable suffragist Alice Paul and President Woodrow Wilson in her fight for women’s equality. This is a rousing story of a crucial moment in American history that resulted in the passage of the 19th Amendment. A book signing follows the program.
