"Grit and Grace" was written by Kathrine Muller to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment of the United States Constitution. It is the amendment that gave voting rights to women and was ratified by Congress on August 18, 1920. The story, which is told by the women of the changing times, is an historical pageant that weaves a chain of important highlights of the suffrage journey with music and fashions of the day.
