Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton joins writer, producer and director Michelle Ferrari and other guests for an important and timely conversation inspired by the new American Experience film, "The Vote."

Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, "The Vote" tells the dramatic story of the hard-fought campaign waged by American women for the right to vote. This transformative cultural and political movement resulted in the largest expansion of voting rights in U.S. history.

For this special conversation, WGBH and American Experience convened panel of extraordinary women to discuss the history of the women’s suffrage movement, what it reveals about the mechanics of American democracy, how it connects to other campaigns for equality, and the insight it offers to the challenges facing women and the nation today. Secreatary Clinton and Michelle Ferrari are joined by Martha S. Jones, historian and author of "Vanguard: How Black Women Broke Barriers, Won the Vote, and Insisted Upon Equality for All" and Elaine Weiss, author of "The Woman’s Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote".

The panel addresses a selection of questions submitted by virtual webinar audience members.
