The Vote

PBS Series American  Experience Films

The Vote, a new four-hour, two-part documentary series, tells the dramatic story of the epic — and surprisingly unfamiliar — crusade waged by American women for the right to vote. Focusing primarily on the movement’s militant and momentous final decade, the film charts American women’s determined march to the ballot box, and illuminates the myriad social, political and cultural obstacles that stood in their path. The Vote delves deeply into the animating controversies that divided the nation in the early 20th century –– gender, race, state's rights, and political power –– and offers an absorbing lesson in the delicate, often fractious dynamics of social change.

Winning in a Man’s World

On November 12, Renee Weisman presented a program that was attended by more than 100 people.  She gave a brief overview of her many years of work at IBM.  Renee gave many "pearls of wisdom" and left us the five "rules" to follow if you want to be heard by men:  Speak loud enough, get their attention before you start to speak, get to the point, say what you want to say and stop talking when you are done.
