Anti-Suffragist Satire at Two Library Branches

As part of its Women’s History Month celebration, the Ocean County Library System will host in “Someone Must Wash the Dishes: An Anti-Suffragist Satire.” It was written in 1912 by social reform pioneer Marie Jenny Howe.

LaRue’s character is a prim, affable anti-suffragist whose own rhetoric inadvertently illustrates the value of women’s voting rights. She will be performing at the Tuckerton branch on Monday, March 9, at 6:30 p.m. and the Waretown branch on Tuesday, March 10, at 2 p.m.

The program is funded by the New Jersey Council for the Humanities. The program is made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the New Jersey Council for the Humanities.
