Six members of the local League wrote chapters to be included in a booklet about the decades-long campaign for women\u2019s voting rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeven Women Who Never Gave Up\u201d has short biographies of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth, Caroline Churchill, Carrie Chapman Catt, Alice Paul and Jane Addams.<\/p>\n<p>There are gaps in American history taught in high schools and colleges about the women\u2019s suffrage movement. To correct this, copies of this booklet have been donated to Montezuma County High Schools. \u201cSeven Women Who Never Gave Up\u201d is dedicated to future voters who are now students in local schools.<\/p>\n<p>The local women who are the authors for this project are LouAnn Burkett, Connie Fox, Denise Hall, Terri Helm, Karen Sheek, Judith Schuenemeyer and Retha Williams.<\/p>\n<p>Copies of the booklet are available for a $5 donation to the League of Women Voters of Montezuma County.
