The Yellow Rose of Suffrage is a one-woman play about Carrie Chapman Catt, an 1880 graduate of Iowa State who devoted thirty-three years of her life to the women's suffrage movement. Catt was president of the National American Women Suffrage Association, cofounder of the League of Women Voters, and a crusader for world peace. The production was written and is performed by Jane Cox, a longtime faculty member in the Iowa State Theater Program.
