Christian Lewis Sufjan Stevens’s indie folk concept album “Illinois”(2005) is whimsical, earnest, and sorrowful; it weaves together events and figures from Illinois history (including UFO sightings, Pullman cars, the World’s Fair of 1893, and the Lincoln/Douglas debates) with Biblical allusions and feelings of shame and loss.

But “Suffs,” which tells the story of the final push to achieve the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote in 1920, does just that with a singular vision and a collective collaboration that is smart, inspiring and thoroughly entertaining.

The name of the Polish-born portraitist who died in 1980 might not be familiar to many, but you might recognize her paintings.
