Presentation by Eleanor Clift
Tuesday, October 18, 7:00 p.m. - Eleanor Clift is a White House correspondent and television commentator. She is a regular panelist on The McLaughlin Group on PBS (KPTS, Channel 8) at 9:00 p.m. Fridays. Clift will discuss her book "Founding Sisters and the 19th Amendment" at Wichita State University's Hughes Metroplex, 5015 E. 29th St. N. The event is free and open to the public.

Eleanor Clift, contributing editor of Newsweek, has been in the center of Washington's political arena from Carter to Clinton. She regularly reports on the White House, Congress and the diverse personalities who make up the Washington power structure. Clift and her former husband, Tom Brazaitis, co-wrote the book, War Without Bloodshed: The Art of Politics. In her book, Madam President: Shattering the Last Glass Ceiling, Ms. Clift offers a forward-looking history of women in politics.

Eleanor Clift's Founding Sisters and the Nineteenth Amendment came out in late 2003. In this riveting account, she captures the drama of the women's suffrage movement-and shows how the issues and arguments that surrounded the suffragettes still reverberate today. Beginning with the Seneca Falls Women's Rights Convention of 1848, Clift introduces us to the movement's leaders, takes us on marches and demonstrations, and profiles the opposition-anti-suffragettes, both men and women, who would do anything to stop women from getting the vote. The story culminates in the dramatic struggle to pass the 19th Amendment-a struggle that ultimately came down to the vote of a single legislator in Tennessee.
