Behind every powerful woman… are more powerful women taking justice into their own hands. That is currently more true than ever. When I saw Suffs the musical the other day I found myself sobbing in the bathroom with complete strangers and I simply had to talk about it with the magical Nikki James who portrays the inimitable Ida B. Wells in this Broadway masterpiece.SUFFS brings to life a complicated chapter in the ongoing battle for the right to vote: the American women’s suffrage movement. In the seven years leading up to the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, an impassioned group of suffragists—“Suffs” as they called themselves—took to the streets, pioneering protest tactics that transformed the country. They risked their lives as they clashed with the president, the public, and each other. A thrilling story of brilliant, flawed women working against and across generational, racial, and class divides, SUFFS boldly explores the victories and failures of a fight for equality that is still far from over.Join our newsletter community here.Pre-order EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU here.Visit our lovely sponsors here.
