"The New Woman" from the ALL ARTS Vault uses ragtime music to explore women's roles.

In commemoration of the centennial of women's suffrage in 2020, ALL ARTS reached into our archive to find this 1962 program exploring women's roles at the turn of the 20th century. Dramatic sketches show how women faced discrimination in the workplace and politics as they fought for the vote - and our host intersperses the skits with popular ragtime music focused on women's place in society.
