Great Evenings in The Great Hall: Women's Suffrage and Women's Rights

Cooper Union's Great Evenings in The Great Hall presents Women’s Suffrage and Women’s Rights, a dynamic celebration of history past and a rallying cry for the future. Performance artist Karen Finley (George and Martha), NOW co-founder and ex-president Karen DeCrow and Broadway actress Brenda Wehle (Pygmalion) bring to life feminist pioneers Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Victoria Woodhull, and Emma Goldman. Tony, Obie and Drama Desk award winner André De Shields (The Full Monty) portrays outspoken statesman and suffragist Frederick Douglass. Director Lauren Keating (Al's Business Cards) helms the evening.
