Should Women Get the Vote? or; What will men wear when women wear pants?

On April 21, 2009, The Blue Castle presents "Should Women Have the Vote? or; What will men wear when women wear pants?" an evening celebrating the 84th anniversary ofwomen's suffrage in Newfoundland. Showcasing the talents of several regular Blue Castle-goers, the evening will feature an interactive re-enactment of the great suffrage debates of the early twentieth century and will include excerpts from the speeches, songs, verses and memoirs of some of the leading voices of the suffrage movement, including Emmeline Pankhurst, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and Newfoundland's own Armine Gosling.
