About This Event
In celebration of National Women’s History Month, a new documentary titled “Trailblazing Women in Ohio Politics” will premiere during a special preview screening hosted by Western Reserve Historical Society and the League of Women Voters of Greater Cleveland.
The public is invited to watch the hour-long documentary, followed by a panel discussion moderated by Bowling Green State University Political Science Professor Melissa K. Miller, an expert on American politics. The non-partisan documentary tells the story of both Democratic and Republican women who broke electoral barriers beginning in the 1960s. WBGU-PBS, a service of BGSU in Bowling Green, Ohio, produced the documentary.
The documentary will be followed by a panel discussion with two local female political leaders. Details announced soon!
