Join us as Dr. Hamlin shares the fascinating story of Ohioan Alice Chenowith. Chenowith found herself a "fallen woman" after an affair with a married man. Reinventing herself under a new identity, Alice became a staunch advocate for women's rights in New York City. Drawing from her own experiences of marginalization, she channeled her passion and determination into meaningful activism. Named "the most potent factor" in the Congressional passage of the 19th amendment, Chenowith serves as a reminder of the resilience inherent in the human spirit and the profound impact individuals can have in shaping societal norms and policies.
Dr. Kimberly Hamlin is a historian and professor specializing in women, gender, sex and politics at Miami University.
