The Path To Leadership: Montgomery County Women, Women’s Clubs, and Suffrage
Speaker: Claire McDonald
Tuesday, March 3
12 pm - 1 pm
Beall-Dawson House
FREE
Kick off Women's History Month with our March Tuesday Talk!
For women of Montgomery County, like women throughout the country, their paths to leadership and politics were not direct ones. Achieving political clout and influence in the county and beyond took decades of hard work and persistence. Much of this work began with the fight for the right to vote. This presentation—offered on the 107th anniversary of the 1913 Woman Suffrage Procession in DC—explores women’s suffrage in the county and its relationship to the growing network of women’s clubs from the late nineteenth century through the early 1930s. Presenter Claire McDonald will also highlight the lives and contributions of three local women. The presentation will coincide with a new two-part online exhibition about women’s paths to leadership in the county.
Tuesday Talks are always free and open to the public! For more information, visit our website or contact us at 301-340-2825.
