POSTPONED – Lecture: Nice Women Don’t Make History
The 2020 Schoharie County Historical Society Lecture Series will continue on (TBA) as Old Stone Fort Museum Director Melinda McTaggart presents “Nice Women Don’t Make History” in the Badgley Museum Annex at the Old Stone Fort Museum.
In honor of the centennial of the women’s suffrage movement and held a century after the ratification of the 19th Amendment, Ms. McTaggart’s lecture will explore the lives of some of America’s most intriguing and innovative women.
Included in her discussion will be such notable figures as investigative journalist and leading muckraker Ida Tarbell and businesswoman and Maidenform co-founder Ida Rosenthal, who each left an impact on this country by shattering preconceived notions about what a woman should do and demonstrating just what a woman could do.
Admission is $5 for adults and free for students and Schoharie County Historical Society members. Refreshments will be generously provided by the Iroquois Chapter, NSDAR, Worcester, NY.
