Produktinformationen "Jeanine Michna-Bales: Standing Together"
A multifaceted meditation on a pioneer of American suffrage, through photography, writing and ephemeraIn 1916, Inez Milholland Boissevain (1886-1916) embarked on a grueling campaign across the Western US on behalf of the National Women's Party appealing for women's suffrage ahead of the 1916 presidential election. Standing Together, by artist Jeanine Michna-Bales (born 1971), retraces Milholland's journey. The 30-year-old suffragist delivered some 50 speeches to standing-room-only crowds in eight states in 21 days: Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Utah, Nevada and California. She battled chronic illness and lack of sleep during her travels and died a month after her last speech in Los Angeles, where her final public words were, "Mr. President, how long must this go on, no liberty?"Through her photographs, combining dramatic landscapes and historical reenactments of important vignettes of Milholland on her journey with archival materials, Michna-Bales captures a glimpse of the monumental effort required to pass the 19th Amendment.
