It was organized and directed by Bloomington City Councilwoman-At Large, Susan Sandberg. WomenSpeak performed on several occasions in 2005 and 2006. Amy recited the inspiring words of Rose Winslow, a Polish immigrant (born Ruza Wenclawska) and a Suffragette. Ruza participated in the hunger strike that led to the passage of the 19th Amendment, granting American women the right to vote. The hunger strike was also dramatized in the HBO Movie, Iron Jawed Angels
