SUMMARY:Breaking the Political Glass Ceiling
DESCRIPTION:Join former Massachusetts Governor Jane Swift; Pulitzer-Prize winning Boston Globe columnist\, Eileen McNamara; and former Fitchburg Mayor Lisa Wong\, as they discuss the successes earned and challenges faced by women in politics in Massachusetts and beyond. Over 20 years ago\, Jane Swift became Governor of Massachusetts and the first sitting Governor to give birth while in office. Since that time we’ve seen the election of our nation’s first woman as Vice President and the state’s first female United States Senator\, and\, most recently\, the first woman to serve as the mayor of Boston. As the nation celebrates the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th amendment – this forum will discuss the progress made and the barriers that remain for female candidates in the political arena. \nDonations are encouraged to support the Concord Museum’s Education initiatives.  This program is supported in part by the Sally Lanagan Fund. \nThis program coincides with the special exhibition Every Path Laid Open: Women of Concord and the Quest for Equality.  Book your timed-entry ticket to visit the exhibition at concordmuseum.org.\n\nBanner photo: General Register of Voters\, 1877-1883.

SUMMARY:Every Path Laid Open: Women of Concord and the Quest for Equality
DESCRIPTION:  \nIn 1845\, feminist Margaret Fuller described the ultimate goal of women’s suffrage: “We would have every path laid open to Woman as freely as to Man.” Spoken seventy-five years before American women had the legal right to vote in national elections\, Fuller’s rallying cry inspired a movement for women’s equality that continues today. \nIn Concord\, Massachusetts\, generations of women – some famous and some almost invisible – fought for their right to work and live how they pleased\, often in defiance of tradition and propriety. They campaigned\, organized\, and advocated to expand their liberties and the liberties of others. In honor of the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment\, this exhibition celebrated their remarkable achievements. \nRecognizing the progress that has been made in empowering women to take “every path\,” the exhibition also celebrated today’s women of Concord— from educators to entrepreneurs\, firefighters to farmers\, and artists to activists— through a special media component in the exhibition. While not meant to be comprehensive\, the variety of these women’s endeavors and the vision\, passion\, and courage with which they have pursued them convey the benefits and enrichments of women’s expanded opportunities as envisioned by Margaret Fuller over 150 years ago. \n

SUMMARY:The Letters of Ellen Garrison
DESCRIPTION:Thank you for participating in our virtual forum! Please submit your questions and comments on YouTube or by emailing ashilling@concordmuseum.org. \n \nEllen Garrison\, the daughter and granddaughter of men who had been enslaved\, spent her life educating newly freed people and fighting for their civil rights. Born and raised in Concord\, she followed in her mother’s footsteps as an antislavery activist. After the Civil War\, Ellen taught newly freed people during Reconstruction and tested the nation’s first Civil Rights Act in court after she was prevented by authorities from desegregating a train station waiting room in Baltimore. Join us as we partner with The Robbins House in presenting scholars Maria Madison ( left) and Sandy Petrulionis (right) in a conversation about a recent initiative to  transcribe Ellen’s letters and what they reveal about her fascinating and courageous life. \nThis is a virtual event. Donations are encouraged to support the Concord Museum’s Education initiatives. \nThis program is supported in part by the Sally Lanagan Fund.

SUMMARY:Outdoor Film Screening: Harriet
DESCRIPTION:The Robbins House partners with the Concord Museum in a screening of Harriet on the eve of Juneteenth to celebrate and continue the conversation raised by Harriet Tubman’s life.  This award-winning Own Voices film directed by Kasi Lemmons and starring Cynthia Erivo expands our understanding of this well-known\, and almost mythical\, figure and puts her real-life experiences into our minds and hearts.  The path to freedom is dangerous and challenging.  Harriet Tubman reminds us of what was sacrificed for freedom and why we need to continue the path to equity. \nAdvanced registration required. \nIn partnership with The Robbins House. \nSupported by Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area.

SUMMARY:Members’ Summer Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Read along in the Museum’s summer book club that includes both the new and noteworthy and Concord classics.  Whether you are on the beach\, a mountain\, or your sofa members can join us virtually for monthly reads\, discussions\, and themed cocktails all summer long.  Book club meetings will be held remotely over Zoom.  The Zoom link will be sent to registrants. \nThe first book club read is Louisa May Alcott’s unpublished debut novel The Inheritance\, written when she was just 17.  20 years before the publication of Little Women\, Alcott was in the midst of what she described in her journals as her sentimental period.  The romantic tale of an Italian orphan who learns she is the heir to an English estate where she is employed is reminiscent of her influencers including Charlotte Brontë\, Jane Austen\, and Sir Walter Scott.  But it also shows a budding maturity of the suffragist\, abolitionist\, and leading author of the 19th century.  The Inheritance’s manuscript was uncovered in the Alcott family papers kept in Houghton Library at Harvard and first published in 1997.  The discovery of this early writing tells us much about the development of one of America’s most beloved and widely published authors. And\, what better way to start the summer than with a novel vignetted with a midnight boating party\, jealous interloper\, and a missing will? \nOrder your copy of The Inheritance through the Concord Bookshop. \nFor members of the Concord Museum.  Become a member to participate! \nImage: Louisa May Alcott\, Warren’s Portraits\, Boston\, around 1875; Carte de visite\, photograph on cardstock.
