You're invited along for the same ride they took all those years ago, so grab your placard and get ready to fight for what's right.

What Is The Story?

It's the early 1910's and a group of Suffragists have taken to the street ready to transform the country and protests against the likes of the public, the president and even each other. Their names? The SUFFS! This captivating story will take you on the journey of women working against the divides - racial, generational and class - with both victories and failures right up until the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920. 

It's a fight that is still far from over.
