Kimberly Hamlin, Chamberlin Family Professor and chair of History, and a member of the board of directors of the League of Women Voters of the United States, was one of several LWV directors who partnered with the Broadway musical "Suffs" on Aug. 24 in recognition of Women’s Equality Day, the day commemorating the adoption of the nineteenth amendment to the United States Constitution in 1920, which gave some women the right to vote. This special “League Night” also included a panel discussion featuring the League’s incoming CEO, historian Kimberly Hamlin, journalist Erin Geiger Smith, and Suffs cast members Kirsten Scott and Dana Costello that focused on how women have shaped democracy since the suffrage movement and what’s at stake in the 2024 election.
