Tonight I listened to the first of four installments of this program presented by the Ridgefield Library and the Ridgefield Historical Society.
This session focused on the background to and the work of the first wave of suffragettes from Seneca Falls and beyond. I was happy to hear about the contributions of Lucretia Mott, who is often neglected in these discussions, and that she was the first woman VP candidate in US history (I didn't know that.)
I only found out about this program after I bought some suffrage stickers, a pin, and a magnet from The History List, a website I found by chance.
Can't wait to learn more about Alice Paul.
