Dear Friends and Equality Champions,

Did you know that 2023 is the ERA Centennial? Alice Paul and the National Woman's Party presented the ERA, July 21, 1923 which was the 75th Anniversary of the conference at Seneca Falls.

2021 holds great promise for the Equal Rights Amendment to be fully published and all Americans to have constitutional rights under the law. Want to know more?

ERA ~ The Big Picture

This is ERA 101. This is some easy talk about the ERA. What does it say? What will it do? Why are we still talking about it? What is the holdup? What can you do about it? This is teatime with pictures and stories told by ERA activist Zoe Nicholson.

This is the background starting in 1787, threaded through Seneca and on to the awakening of a young Quaker girl who saw clearly that social work would never be enough to solve the problems of poverty. Beginning with her epiphany in 1906, this is the story of Alice's commitment and unfolding devotion for constitutional equality for all. Miss Paul saw suffrage as just one stone in the mosaic of equality. She took it on fully and, when achieved, she began writing, educating and working to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment to the US Constitution. This program is up to the minute with actions and resources. It is an hour with 30 minutes for your Q&A.

This is a virtual program which is presented on a zoom platform. There are several ways to enjoy this program. You can register and attend a scheduled event, sponsor an event or you can book an event exclusively for your group or organization.

Tea with Alice and Me is a full length stage performance where you will be invited to the "Grated Door," the National Woman's Party Tearoom on the west side of Lafayette Square Park. From there you will hear stories about the significance of Tea, Teas and Tearooms from Boston to London to Seneca to DC. You will meet the women who earned the vote and continue to work for the Equal Rights Amendment.
Zoe Nicholson, scholar, researcher and devotee of Alice Paul will share her 40 years working to pass the ERA including her fast in 1982. She will bring Alice to life through rich intimate stories that will make you fall in love with Miss Paul too.

*************************
Tea with Alice and Me was a joy to attend! Alice Paul was brought to life for me as well as my teenage daughter. Zoe is a natural storyteller and I could have listened to her for hours as she clearly knows the facts about Alice Paul.

Wild West Women is now booking performances of Tea With Alice and Me. Expanded, Updated and a Celebration of the ERA.
Live performances available starting September 1, 2021.
Zoe publicly demonstrated her commitment to the Equal Rights Amendment with a 37 day fast in summer, 1982 in Springfield, Illinois. Obviously, she thought that June 30, 1982 her pursuit would be fulfilled. Never folding, she dug deeper. Now, over 40 years later, she has become an Alice Paul scholar, mentor to equality advocates, student of NVDA and persistent radical activist.
Featured in "Ann Curry’s We’ll Meet Again” and, soon to be released, “Still Working 9 to 5,” Zoe is an accomplished voice for the ERA. Her book, The Hungry Heart ~ A Woman’s Fast for Justice is her actual 1982 diary from the Illinois battle for the ERA. She is a living library of American women’s journeys for equality and a captivating story-teller.
