Milwaukee's suffrage centennial celebrations

Very proud that the Milwaukee book launch of A Suffragette in America is listed in the centennial celebrations. For details of this and other exciting events see: https://eu.jsonline.com/story/news/2019/05/09/events-marking-womens-suffrage-anniversary-planned-across-wisconsin/1112664001

Sylvia Pankhurst was an active participant in the struggle to win women's suffrage in Milwaukee. At the launch I'll be talking about her role in the 1912 referendum campaign, the suffragists who welcomed her as a star speaker and one who wished she hadn't come and complained about militant suffragettes behaving like "tomboys"!
