Women Who Do Things: Women at Chautauqua
Chautauqua Heritage Lecture Series - NYS Path Through History • 31-Jul-2020
Originally broadcast at 3:30 p.m. EDT Friday, July 31, 2020.
Emalee Krulish tells the stories of important women throughout history who came to Chautauqua.
Praised for being a loving friend of women's suffrage in the years leading up to the ratification of the 19th Amendment, Chautauqua hosted some of America's most distinguished suffragists, including Carrie Chapman Catt, Susan B. Anthony and Anna Shaw.
Krulish, an assistant archivist at Chautauqua, will examine the roles of the Institution and Chautauqua County's common country women in bringing the suffrage movement to Chautauqua.
This series is made possible with a gift from Jeff Lutz and Cathy Nowosielski.
