We Did It For You! Women's Journey Through History tells the story of how women got their rights in the United States. With catchy musical numbers and a dash of comic relief, this highly entertaining and educational musical is a must-see for teens and adults.

An entertaining and quick tour of women's journey through history, starting with the struggle women had in the 17th century Puritan Revolution through to our 21st century empowered women politicians. Hear great speeches and listen to first-hand stories of why women persevered against so many obstacles so that we can have our rights including the right to vote.

This is a free virtual event. Please RSVP by making a reservation for your seats.

Sponsored by Framingham Public Library. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Framingham Local Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.

Northern State University will commemorate the 100th anniversary of women’s right to vote with a celebratory march through campus, a historical speech re-enactment, and an exhibit of artifacts from the time period. 

The festivities will take place on Aug. 26, honoring the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Marchers will gather in the parking lot of Steele Hall at 12:30 p.m. and proceed to Lincoln Hall. The march will culminate at the steps of Lincoln, where NSU Theatre students Lydia Jae Saxton, Suzi Fitterer and Sydney Raap will perform a re-enactment of a speech from the era starting at about 12:50 p.m. Also that day, the League of Women Voters will be helping students register to vote from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Avera Student Center. 

The Aug. 26 event is open to the public. Masks are required for indoor portions, including viewing the exhibition. Outside, participants are asked to practice social distancing. To learn more, contact NSU Executive Director of Student Success Dr. Stacie Varnson: 605-626-7781.
