Nearly 200 people turned out Sunday for the Centennial Celebration of Women’s Suffrage at the George Washington Hotel. The Suffragists’ Tea is hosted by the Washington County Democratic Party. The program featured speakers from the County Historical Society, as well as Pittsburgh actress, writer and singer, Yvonne Hudson, who portrayed Jennie Bradley Roessing, a Pittsburgh Suffragist who battled with other women to pass the 19th Amendment to the Constitution prohibiting states and the federal government from denying the right to vote to citizens on the basis of sex.
