...Or should we call it Women's Herstory Month? We believe HER-STORY is very important to HIS-STORY. Our monthly talk from the Bullis Room will be about the Notable Women Represented in the Bullis Collection.
Not only do we have Susan B. Anthony and Sojourner Truth but we also have many other women who impacted their society around them. Hannah More became an abolitionist. Maria Edgeworth created moral tales for children and published a parenting book. Olive Oatman survived being captured by the Native Americans in the Southwest. Helena Rutherford Ely who wrote a book on gardening methods in the early 1900's. Grace Gallatin Seton-Thompson wrote a guide for Victorian era women going on mountain or hunting trips. And then there was George Sand - enough said!!
The photo above is of Stacey Wicksall (Director) and Helen Darrow (Library Board President) posing along side a life size photo of Sojourner Truth on Library Advocacy Day 2017 in Albany. All of these women have impacted those around them. Her-Story is an important story. Join us as we talk about these women who impacted their world on March 29 at 2 p.m. in the Bullis Room at the Macedon Public Library.
