Sponsored by Humanities New York, the Howland Stone Store Museum will facilitate six sessions on the history of the Women’s Suffrage movement in New York and the nation. We will utilize resources provided by Humanities NY and our own archives, interspersing material on Sherwood’s important contributions to the Movement. The group will be facilitated by Linda Post Van Buskirk. HSSM docents and staff are encouraged to attend in preparation for the 2023 season.

The final session will be held at 4:00 pm, Sunday, May 14, at Opendore. Zoom participation will also be offered to those who register in advance. Email event@howlandstonestore.org for the Zoom link. In preparation, participants are asked to read:

Mary Walton, A Woman’s Crusade: Alice Paul and the Battle for the Ballot

Chapter 5-6 of Jean H. Baker, Votes for Women: The Struggle for Suffrage Revisited
