The Brunswick Area Chapter of the League of Women Voters  hosted this talk by Maine author, Anne Gass to kick-off to their 2019 book club. 

Her talk is titled:  "We Demand: The First Ever Cross-Country Road Trip for a Cause," which describes a coast-to-coast car trip undertaken by three suffragists in 1915 in support of women's suffrage.  She supports her talk with slides from the original trip. Gass retraced their route in 2015 and will conclude the talk with a discussion of the challenges that remained for women after they got the vote, and that they're still facing today.
