Welcome to the Digital Engagement Toolkit for Unyielding Voices.
This toolkit was created by Arizona Theatre Matters to accompany the performance film Unyielding Voices: Frances Munds and the 20th Century Fight for Women’s Rights in Arizona. Whether you’re watching this piece at a library, in a classroom, or at home—we’re so glad you’re here.
Unyielding Voices brings history to life through the words of Arizona suffragist Frances Willard Munds, brought to the screen through a Deaf performer and a Blind voice actor. It’s a story about courage, compromise, exclusion, and progress. It’s also a conversation—a civic invitation. This toolkit offers ways to continue that conversation after the final scene.

Thank you for joining us. This work was made possible with support from Arizona Humanities and the City of Glendale. We believe history isn’t just something we study—it’s something we continue. And every voice matters.
