The components of the Winning a Voice unit bring this neglected piece of the American Story—the women’s suffrage movement—to children through an activity-oriented program involving art, music, and drama. These exciting components capture the 150-year struggle by American women to gain the right to vote. More importantly, the unit delivers key role models to all students in an inspirational way. Researched and developed since 1972, this classroom-tested curriculum has proved motivating and challenging to both boys and girls.

Performed successfully across the country, the Winning A Voice play has delighted audiences and participants every time, young and old alike. The Reader’s Theater format facilitates a simple but enthusiastic production during which members of the audience can be invited to do bit parts. Much of the story is told through music, with lyrics written to familiar tunes to encourage spirited audience participation. Adults love to perform the musical and do their part to let the younger generation know of the enormous effort that was expended by women “winning a voice†in our government. Everyone can get in on the act!

To Our Courageous Foremothers...
Those dauntless heroines, those freedom fighters who, with clear vision, high ideals, courage, perseverance and steadfastness of purpose, fought for justice, not favors, their rights and nothing less.
Sometimes they fought alone. Sometimes they found others to help them. But only when thousands of women banded together in one massive drive did they get what they wanted most: A voice in their government. |
