This episode features two women who were important to the fight for women’s suffrage but whose names are less known than those of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony.
We talk with John Tepper Marlin about his great aunt, suffragette Inez Milholland. He’s the author of a play about the women’s suffrage movement, Take Up The Song.
Then we re-play our 2007 interview with writer Marge Piercy about her novel, Sex Wars. It’s about another great figure of the first women’s equality movement, Victoria Woodhull — the first woman to run for president.
