The campaign to grant women the right to vote culminated a century ago with the passage of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution. Greenwich saw women of all backgrounds come together to fight the good fight.
An Unfinished Revolution: The Woman’s Suffrage Centennial opens to the public on the 5th of February 2020 at the Greenwich Historical Society. The exhibit illuminates 21st century visitors with the history and legacy of the woman’s suffrage movement as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment.
We’re joined on the Wednesday, January 15 broadcast by Kathleen Craughwell Varda, the exhibit’s guest curator. On Talk of the Town we heard details of An Unfinished Revolution: The Woman’s Suffrage Centennial. Learn more at the Greenwich Historical Society's web site.
We recently lost two community icons in Greenwich.
Lou Caravella was the proprietor of Post Stationery in Cos Cob for decades. He purchased the store in 1953 and worked seven days a week, 15 hours a day until 1988. He also served as the Town of Greenwich Tax Collector from 1998 to 2009.
Douglas L. Francefort passed away January 7 peacefully at home at the age of 91. His major passion was the Book Shed in the recycling area at Holly Hill. He designed it and ran it for many years with the help of many volunteers including his wife. He had a love for reading and enjoyed giving the books away.
