Sarah Morgan — Cooking with the Suffragettes: The Battle for the 19th Amendment

Sarah Morgan

The path to ratification of the 19th amendment is marked by well over 100 years of a sisterhood of women working toward equal rights. Long before the movement began, Abigail Adams wrote a letter to her husband saying, “Remember the Ladies” as they were drafting the Declaration of Independence. This program will feature “First Ladies” of the Suffrage Movement, including Anita Pollitzer, the Jewish woman who swayed one Tennessean to change his vote. Although this will not feature live cooking, participants will receive recipe booklets with some of the recipes used in the fight for the right to vote, such as the Lady Baltimore Cake.
