Hi Gail! Great to hear about your projects. I wanted to throw an idea for a place to check out there for you. If I remember correctly, didn't Ken Burns recently put together a documentary detailing the women's suffrage movement? If so, probably a place you could check is the pbs web site. Hope all is well!
