Virtual Book Discussion: Voting Down the Rose Online
Cosponsored by League of Women Voters, Brunswick, and Curtis Memorial Library
This event is in celebration of the 100th year of women winning the vote! In this session, join the book discussion of Voting Down the Rose: Florence Brooks Whitehouse and Maine's Fight for Woman Suffrage by Anne B. Gass.
Voting Down the Rose is a lively account of Maine native Florence Brooks Whitehouse’s efforts to win women voting rights in the decisive final years of the campaign, 1914-1920. Considered radical for picketing the White House, Florence helped win women suffrage against a backdrop of conservative views of women’s roles, political intrigues, WWI, and the 1918 influenza epidemic.
