    Soldiers in Petticoats: The Struggle of the Suffragettes SeaTac City Hall (4800 S 188th St. SeaTac, Sunday, Feb. 21st. 2:00 PM

    In the authentic clothing of a suffragette, Actress Tames Alan returns to talk about the struggle of American women to gain the right to vote. In 1867, the passing of the 14th amendment defined "citizen" as "male," thus denying women the right to vote. Learn how American women adopted the militant tactics of their English sister suffragettes to earn the right to vote and regain citizenship in their own country. Discover how the suffragettes influenced child labor laws, the use and dispersal of birth control, the Temperance movement, the right of women to earn a college degree, and their relationship with the abolitionists.
