But a performing persona is only one aspect of style; more interesting to see is how Soll's choreography transcends this way of moving...

However long the odds, supporters have pledged to continue their struggle. They are certain that time is on their side. It was only 58 years ago, they note, that the Florida senate refused to endorse what has since become the 19th Amendment, which gave women the vote. One of the main arguments against the amendment at that time: "No moral man would marry a woman who votes...
