Suffragette brought to life in one-woman drama at Port Orange Library
Posted On: March 4, 2020
Why did Suffragettes wear white? Why did Florida wait until 1969 to ratify suffrage for women?
With this year marking the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment granting American women the right to vote and March being celebrated as Women’s History Month, it’s the perfect time to look back at some of the questions, highlights and milestones marking the suffragette movement in Florida. To help do just that, writer and historical dramatist Dianne Jacoby will bring to life women’s suffragette through the character of Ophelia in a one-woman drama that will be performed from 5:30 p.m.-7 p.m. on Thursday, March 19 at the Port Orange Regional Library.
As presented by Jacoby, Ophelia ponders the roles and rights of Florida women leading up to the right to vote in this wonderful performance that will take place in the library auditorium, 1005 City Center Circle. More information can be obtained by calling the library at 386-322-5152.
