Hello!
I am an innovator in feminist scholarship. I'm not seeking the prize, but I do want to share with you an opportunity to try out a historical presentation on the achievements of the suffragettes.
Did you know that two presidential mistresses played into women winning the vote?
Most people are quite a bit in the dark about the suffragettes.
Now finding out the sexy, shocking truth of HOW the suffragettes won the vote is as easy as opening your e-mail.
"The Privilege of Voting" is a new historical e-mail series that goes behind the scenes in the lives of eight well-known women from 1912 to 1920 to reveal the exciting and surprising twists and turns that played into women finally winning the vote in England and America.
The women depicted include two of the most beautiful and outspoken suffragettes -- Alice Paul and Emmeline Pankhurst, along with Edith Wharton, Isadora Duncan, Alice Roosevelt, and two stunning presidential mistresses.
There are weddings and funerals, babies in peril, damsels in distress, war, peace, prohibition, broken hearts and lots of hot affairs on the rocky road to the ballot box.
The best part is it's ALL true!
Presented via e-mail in a unique, sequential, interwoven short-story format called Coffeebreak Readers that makes discovering the delightful heroines of women's suffrage history fast and fun!
Each action-packed e-mail episode takes about 10 minutes to read, so they are perfect to enjoy on coffeebreaks, or anytime.
