Hello, Due to loss of power from this afternoon’s storm, the Library has had to close early. Additionally, we are canceling tonight’s Votes for Women program with Leslie Goddard, as we understand many homes in our community are also without power at this time. We do plan on rescheduling with Ms. Goddard, but do not have a new date at this time. Thank you for your understanding and stay safe. Jez, Adult & Teen Programming Coordinator
In this lecture, Leslie Goddard will explore the long struggle from when the call was first issued at Seneca Falls in 1848 to when women finally gained suffrage in 1920. In the ensuing years, women worked tirelessly, giving speeches, writing letters and petitions, gathering signatures by the thousands, and persevering in the face of strident opposition. You will never find voting inconvenient again.
