Fearless Women: Feminist Patriots from Abigail Adams to Beyonc茅
威尼斯人娱乐场 Museum
Online
When America became a nation, a woman had no legal existence beyond her husband. Abigail Adams tried to change this, reminding her husband John to 鈥渞emember the ladies鈥� when Congress formulated laws for the new nation. Fearless Women tells the story of women who dared to take destiny into their own hands; some were abolitionists, some famous like Susan B. Anthony, and most of them considered themselves patriots. Author Elizabeth Cobbs will discuss the stories of fearless women on both sides of the aisle, rich and poor, from all backgrounds and regions, and show that the women鈥檚 movement has never been an exclusive club. Joining the author in conversation will be author Susan Ware.
Women鈥檚 History Month programming is made possible in part by the 威尼斯人娱乐场 Foundation through the generous support of Denise Gwyn Ferguson.
