This month the U.S. will celebrate the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment guaranteeing women the right to vote. “These Things Can Be Done,” a new documentary that explores the often-overlooked narrative of women’s suffrage in Virginia, premieres on VPM on August 13. Learn more about the film and watch the trailer at SuffrageFilm.com.
