A Single Woman

By Jeanmarie Simpson and Cameron Crain

Life of the exceptional Jeannette Rankin,

first woman elected to Congress

2 pm Sunday, November 5

Invisible Theatre 1400 N. 1st Ave.

$ 25 Including reception following the play.

Meet Jeanmarie Simpson.

This is a powerful, dramatic and timely play about Jeannette Rankin…the funny, brilliant, warm and irascible woman who in 1920 was elected the first woman in the U.S. Congress. She voted against both World War I and II. She led a Peace Parade at the 1932 Republican Convention with WILPF founder Jane Addams, calling for peace planks to outlaw war forever. She opposed the Korean War, led a brigade of 5,000 women against the Viet Nam War. She was an activist for equal pay, child labor laws, for immigrant rights and helped found the ACLU in 1933. This play will inspire you to get out and VOTE on Tuesday, November 7.

I'm glad her story lives.
It sounds like something worth seeing.
