Following the Friends Business Meeting, Sandy Kaufman, M.Ed. will present Hear Our Voices: The Struggle for Women’s Rights.

Known as the “Victorian Age”, the 64-year reign of Queen Victoria was a witness to extraordinary changes in culture and society, innovations and inventions, across the world. The history of the Victorian era conventionally focuses solely on the creations and innovations of the 19th century. What are often ignored are the significant and important roles played by many women who stepped out of their traditional roles to assume leadership in gaining their rights as citizens. Victorian women became a force in the abolition of slavery, the fight for better wages and financial independence, educational opportunities and the 42-year struggle for women’s suffrage. This is the history of many of these selfless and heroic women whose roles in the fight for equality are often ignored and forgotten.

Presented by Sandy Kaufman, M.Ed.

Intended for adults.

Sponsored by the Friends of Huntingdon Valley Library.
