SAMPLE QUESTIONS TO LEAD OFF YOUR Q AND A:
How did Blanche's commitment to her chosen causes affect her children's lives? Were they also free thinkers ahead of their time?
Issues to which Blanche dedicated her life, such as women's reproductive choice, are under threat. How do you think the times have changed or stayed the same?
What causes do you think would Blanche be involved in today?
Who were the influencers in her life that encouraged a woman of privilege to dedicate her life to the causes she espoused?
How much of an influence was Blanche’s Mother on her life and the interests she developed?
Why is Blanche Ames Ames not as well known as other suffragists?
The film shows several maps of states that had suffrage versus those that didn't. Why did the western states embrace suffrage so much more than eastern states like Massachusetts?
Can we visit Borderland State Park and the Borderland Mansion?
