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: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 July book club read is James McBride’s 2013 National Book Award Winner The Good Lord Bird.  A highly entertaining portrait of life on the Kansas-territory with John Brown and his army of abolitionists\, Henry Shackleford\, a formerly enslaved child sweeps us up in the action as he is taken under John Brown’s wing – who believes Henry is a girl\, his good luck charm\, and nicknames Little Onion. \nMilitant abolitionist John Brown visited Concord at the behest of the Concord Female Anti-Slavery Society in March 1857 where he dined at Mrs. Thoreau’s table and discussed the “fights and escapes in Kansas” in her parlor with Henry David Thoreau.  The next evening\, Brown addressed a crowd at the Concord Town Hall who was held spellbound by his accounts of Kansas (despite only contributing a trifle towards his financial goal)\, before a reception in Ralph Waldo Emerson’s home where he was invited to spend the night.  Though only a brief visit in Concord\, Brown left an impression on the leading abolitionists and Transcendentalists of the community.  His radical activism continues to resonate with us today and comes alive in James McBride’s novel with a captivating mix of history and imagination. \nFor members of the Concord Museum.  Become a member to participate!
