SUMMARY:RESCHEDULED TO NOV. 7: Why They Marched
DESCRIPTION:Why They Marched: A Conversation with Susan Ware: RESCHEDULED TO NOVEMBER 7\, 2019\nFor far too long\, the history of how American women won the right to vote has been told as the tale of a few iconic leaders\, all white and native-born. Join us for a conversation with Susan Ware\, as she uncovers a much broader and more diverse story of the many women who worked tirelessly in communities across the nation\, out of the spotlight\, protesting\, petitioning\, and insisting on their right to full citizenship. \nA pioneer in the field of women’s history and a leading feminist biographer\, Susan Ware is the author and editor of numerous books on twentieth-century U.S. history. Educated at Wellesley College and Harvard University\, she has taught at New York University and Harvard\, where she served as editor of the biographical dictionary Notable American Women: Completing the Twentieth Century (2004). Since 2012\, she has served as the general editor of the American National Biography\, published by Oxford University Press under the auspices of the American Council of Learned Societies. The Library of America published Ware’s latest anthology on women’s suffrage in May 2019. \nJoin us for a conversation between Susan Ware\, Honorary Women’s Suffrage Historian at Radcliffe’s Schlesinger Library\, and historian Ellen Fitzpatrick.  Co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Concord-Carlisle. \n$5 Member | $10 Non-Member. This program is supported in part by the Sally Lanagan Fund and grants from the Concord Cultural Council\, the Lexington Council for the Arts\, and the Lincoln Cultural Council –  local agencies which are supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council\, a state agency. \nBooks available for purchase and signing in partnership with the Concord Bookshop.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Black Devil and Gentle Cloud: Ruskin and Emerson at Odds
DESCRIPTION:Program Postponed: Unfortunately\, the August 15 Concord Museum Forum with Sara Atwood on Black Devil and Gentle Cloud: Ruskin and Emerson at Odds\, has been postponed. \nWe are working to reschedule this Forum\, and will post updated information as soon as possible. \nJohn Ruskin and Ralph Waldo Emerson are among the ‘representative men’ of the Victorian period and have by now assumed a place alongside the sort of Great Men whom they esteemed. Our current debates about education\, nature\, and labor echo with Ruskinian and Emersonian notions\, from self-culture and self-reliance to mutuality and the value of work. We continue to face many of the problems with which they wrestled and to seek answers to the questions they asked. Explore the ways in which Ruskin’s and Emerson’s vision of the world and of human nature\, diverged\, leaving each man convinced that the other’s understanding was misguided and incomplete. \nSpeaker Sara Atwood’s work has appeared in The Ruskin Review and Bulletin\, Nineteenth-Century Prose\, The Journal of Pre-Raphaelite Studies\, and Carlyle Studies Annual. Her book\, Ruskin’s Educational Ideals\, was published by Ashgate in 2011. She is a contributor to the Yale University Press edition of Carlyle’s On Heroes\, Hero Worship\, and the Heroic in History (2013)\, Teaching Victorian Literature in the Twenty-First Century (Palgrave 2017)\, John Ruskin and Nineteenth-Century Education (Anthem Press 2018)\, William Morris and John Ruskin: A New Road on Which the World Should Travel (University of Exeter Press 2019) and Victorian Environmental Nightmares (Palgrave 2019). She has lectured widely on Ruskin\, both in the US and abroad\, focusing particularly on education\, the environment\, and language. Dr. Atwood lives in Oregon\, where she is an adjunct lecturer in English literature and writing at Portland State University and Portland Community College. \n$5 Member | $10 Non-Member. This program is supported in part by the Sally Lanagan Fund and grants from the Concord Cultural Council\, the Lexington Council for the Arts\, and the Lincoln Cultural Council –  local agencies which are supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council\, a state agency. \nRegister here.
