Political Film Series Honors International Women’s Day

March is Women’s History Month and the Political Film Series is presenting both the trials and the accomplishments of women with a showing of the 2015 film Suffragette, introduced by Dr. Elizabeth Woodworth.

It also underlines the viciousness with which power reacts when it is challenged.” The showing will be March 8 at 7 p.m. in Goodwyn Hall 109. The event is free and ...
