THE WAR OF ROSES; The Women, The Voices, The Vote, will kick off Women’s History Month in Los Angeles on Friday, March 1 and Saturday, March 2 with a Get Out The Vote event being held at The Historic El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood. Curated from nineteen suffragist speeches, THE WAR OF ROSES Get Out The Vote event paints a picture of the women’s rights movement, as told through their own words. Beginning in the mid-19th century, several generations of woman suffrage supporters lectured, wrote, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience to achieve what many Americans considered a radical change in the Constitution – guaranteeing women the right to vote.
A percentage of the proceeds from the event will be donated to Get Out The Vote and Women’s Rights organizations. Tickets start at $19 www.thewarofroses.com
