Short Skirts, Oh My! The Evolution of the Women's Movement

Come celebrate Women's History Month and International
Women's Day with a presentation by historian Anne Barrett. "In 1910,
women’s skirts and hair were long….little more than a decade later, skirts were
reaching unseemly heights, bobbed hair was all the rage and women had finally
won the right to vote.  How did this
happen?  Follow the evolution from
Abigail Adams advising husband John to “remember the ladies” through the
decades-long struggle for women's suffrage that Abigail seemingly foresaw when
she predicted that if the ladies were not remembered, they would "foment a
rebellion", to the shocking emergence of the 1920’s “fiery youth"
