The Princeton Public Library and the Illinois Humanities Road Scholar Speakers will hold a women's suffrage program at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 14, at 698 E. Peru St. Jeanne Schultz Angel will present a program entitled Casting a Historic Vote: Suffrage for Women in Illinois. In honor of Women's History Month, this presentation will explore when women, prior to 1920, were denied the right to vote in the majority of elections in the U.S. According to the presenter, the struggle for enfranchisement began with the birth of our nation and was strategized differently in our local, state and federal elections.
