A podcast about Susan B. Anthony and the secret history of the suffrage movement. Hosted by Daphne White, the playwright of "Susan B.", the play.
Artistic director Ed Sayles talks about his reaction to "Susan B," which he said "shows the suffrage leaders warts and all." Intro and outro music: “Cold Calculus" from Strictly Elizabeths' album Shelter in Place, Produced by Chris Hughes Sound.
This episode features feminist historian Lillian Federman, who wrote a book called "To Believe in Women: What Lesbians Have Done for America -- A History." Lillian’s research shows that Susan B. Anthony and many other suffragists were women who loved other women (although the term "lesbian" had not been invented yet.). This has been a hidden part of LGBTQ history, but it is explored in the play "Susan B." Intro and outro music: “Cold Calculus" from Strictly Elizabeths' album Shelter in Place, Produced by Chris Hughes Sound.
