ANN McCULLOCH

 EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

Ann McCulloch, the great-granddaughter of Catharine Waugh McCulloch, stumbled onto her great-grandmother’s memoirs in a trove of documents at Harvard’s Schlesinger Library two decades ago. Her personal journey discovering her ancestor has culminated in this documentary film, enriched by insights from a wide range of legal scholars and women’s suffrage historians.
