[ruza]
i want to raise up a glass

[lucy & doris]
i want to bask in the light

[alice]
now our generation can make things right
just think how much more we could do
we can finally finish the fight

[ruza, spoken]
what?

[lucy, spoken]
alice—

[alice]
let’s demand an amendment
let’s demand a brand*new amendment

[alice, spoken]
why stop at suffrage?
why not push for complete legal equality?
we could call it something like the “equal rights amendment”
ooh, the era for short
that will fit better on banners
doris, will you write this down?
[doris]
for seven years i have served you
with the most humble affection
and unshadowed devotion
and i kept a record as you said
now i want to write my book about us

[alice]
how can you write a book when there’s still work to do?

[doris]
so girls will grow up learning what we did

[ruza]
so they can learn how hard it was
and never try again?

[doris]
so they can learn how hard it was
and know it can be done

[alice]
doris, let the record show, i’m proud of you

[doris, spoken]
august 26th
doris stevens dedicates her forthcoming book to alice paul
[ruza, spoken]
as long as we’re on the subject of next steps, i have news

[ruza]
i want to act on broadway
for once i want to do a thing that brings others joy
i want to represent my people on the greatest stage in america
and yes, that is what ruza wenclawska
actually historically did after this

[ruza, spoken]
look me up
