May 18: “Nettie’s” Birthday Celebration & Luncheon

Join us for a buffet luncheon, and hear author Suzanne Schnittman discuss her latest book “Provocative Mothers and Their Precocious Daughters: 19th Century Women’s Rights Leaders.”

Take a step back in time to uncover the engaging lives of four mothers and daughters. As pioneer women’s rights leaders, Martha Wright, Abby Kelley Foster, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Lucy Stone worked diligently for what they believed women deserved.  From the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, these women struggled to make the world a better place. Through their actions and beliefs, they forged a path for future generations and raised daughters to be determined young women who merit our attention today.
