Words of inspiration from women who dared to make a difference. August 26, 2005 marked the 85th anniversary of the passage of the 19th amendment to the US Constitution, the day it become federal law that all women have the right to vote. This day came twelve years AFTER our Monroe County Courthouse was built. Here in Bloomington the Monroe County Democratic Women's Caucus celebrated the anniversary of the end of suffrage by hosting a Women's Equality Day Dinner. The evening included a performance by the WomenSpeak Readers Theater, a showcase of the words of prominent historical figures in the women's suffrage movement read by the women of today ñ the women of Bloomington. Your host for this rousing and sometimes quite dramatic performance is the Vice Chair of the Democratic Women's Caucus, Susan Sandberg.
