Suffrage Sheet Music Facebook Post
Popular music has always reflected the day’s hot topics, and America’s Yiddish-speaking audiences loved songs that spoke to the world they knew. This operetta includes a short song in which a suffragist imagines that, if she were President, she would enable women to take on roles traditionally held by men: “Oh, will it be sweet when on the corner stands Mrs. Policeman Chaye!”
After decades of demanding the right to vote, American women gained suffrage after the 19th Amendment became law in 1920. A century later, we salute all who work to give women an equal political voice in America and other nations.
