DESCRIPTION:HITCH YOUR WAGON TO A STAR  A Dramatic Reading From the Life of May 
 Arkwright Hutton  Written and performed by Meg Bowman   5:00 p.m. - Potluck 
 Supper  6:00 p.m. - Program  Free and open to all  May Arkwright Hutton 
 (1860-1915) was the most flamboyant and outspoken suffragette in early 
 Pacific Northwest history. An independent businesswoman -- though she was 
 born in poverty -- and one of the most eccentric political figures of her 
 time, Hutton was a strong supporter of unions, orphanages, and the 
 Democratic party. She was a leader in the women's suffrage movement in the 
 Northwest, helping to gain voting rights for women in Idaho and in 
 Washington State, and was herself a candidate to be a U.S. Senator from 
 Washington.  Meg Bowman is a lifelong activist in the feminist, civil 
 rights, and humanist movements, a retired Professor of Sociology at San 
 Jose State University, and the author of eleven books. Her latest book, 
 _Four Women_, dramatizes the lives of influential and interesting women 
 leaders from around the world, including May Arkwright Hutton.  
 Co-sponsored by Peninsula Peace and Justice Center and Women's 
 International League for Peace and Freedom - Peninsula Branch. \n
