Women in Literature
The members of Teresa Mangum’s fall 2007 “Women in Literature” class joined forces with Meredith Alexander of Theatre Arts to produce a staged reading of Elizabeth Robins’ 1907 suffrage play, “Votes for Women!.” This lively experiment in public scholarship united students in a UI English class, faculty and students in Theatre Arts, the 18th-and 19th-Century Interdisciplinary Colloquium of International Programs, the UI Center for Human Rights, the Women’s Resource and Action Center, and the League of Women Voters.
