The Yellow Rose of Suffrage - A One

The Yellow Rose of Suffrage is a one-woman play about Carrie Chapman Catt, an 1880 graduate of Iowa State who devoted thirty-three years of her life to the women's suffrage movement. Catt was president of the National American Women Suffrage Association, cofounder of the League of Women Voters, and a crusader for world peace. The production was written and is performed by Jane Cox, a longtime faculty member in the Iowa State Theater Program. Cox has performed The Yellow Rose of Suffrage nationally, including at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC. The play was originally funded through a grant from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Part of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics 20th Anniversary Celebration.
