WIS was in a party mood on July 28th 1998 when we celebrated the 150th anniversary of the first Women's Rights Convention in the USA which was held in July 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York.

Everyone also enjoyed the short film called "Give the Ballot to the Mothers: Songs of the Suffragists" by Francie Wolff. Jan Crehore facilitated the lively discussion that followed during which attendees thought about how their lives would be today if they still couldn't vote!
