Valiant Women of the Vote

The Gala will honor women who though their activism continue to enable women to vote and hold office. The theme recognizes the intersecting forms of discrimination women have faced, and continue to face, throughout American history and celebrates the diverse women who fight discrimination at all level and in all forms.
