Winning the right to vote: How this Newport suffragette helped the cause | Rhode Island PBS Weekly

March is Women’s History month and we salute Alva Vanderbilt Belmont, a grand dame of the Gilded Age who transformed from socialite to ardent suffragette. She used her influence, riches and Marble House mansion in Newport to rally supporters to her cause.
