- Sandra Sleight-Brennan
Votes For Women was the slogan on the banners that many American suffragists wore in their 72-year struggle to get the vote. Although American men had been voting since the 1700s, it wasn't until 1920 that American women were allowed to vote for president. Award winning Producer Sandra Sleight-Brennan's documentary uses song, interviews, re-creations of events, and comments from historians to bring this dramatic history to life.
