*LAURIE ANN DOYLE**:*/*She Votes*/*celebrates over 200 years of the
fight for women’s rights in the United States, profiling women such as
Impressionist painter Mary Cassatt and poet Audre Lorde. How did you
decide which particular women and specific events to depict?*
*BRIDGET QUINN:*I wanted to run two parallel — and intersecting —
stories. One, the “usual suspects” of more mainstream history (read:
white), running from Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony in the
mid-19th century, through Alice Paul and the Silent Sentinels leading up
to ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, and onward. But the other
thread is that of underknown and underappreciated stories, of less
acknowledged players in the struggle. For example, the many
contributions of Native women, from Haudenosaunee women in Upstate New
York, to Native basketball players from Montana, to Wilma Mankiller, the
first principal chief of the Cherokee Nation, to contemporary poets like
Joy Harjo, Layli Long Soldier, and Natalie Diaz. Or the powerful voices
and action of Black activists from Sojourner Truth to Ida B. Wells to
Audre Lorde. And then my own idiosyncratic interests are also in play —
art, sports, the American West.
