"Yellow Rose of Suffrage," a one-woman play performed by Jane Cox, professor and director of ISU Theatre. For Women's Equality Day and in honor of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center's 20th anniversary, Cox will perform her one-woman play.

---

The play illustrates the life and words of Carrie Chapman Catt, an 1880 graduate of Iowa State who devoted 33 years of her life to the women's suffrage movement. A tireless organizer and campaigner, Catt served twice as president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, including in its final successful campaign to ratify the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution granting women the right to vote. The performance is free and open to the public.
