Description

Clarina Howard Nichols is known among Vermont historians as an early advocate of women's rights and the first woman to address the Vermont Legislature. What drove her to the Vermont Statehouse and later to the Kansas Constitutional Convention Hall of 1859? How did she confront the social taboos against women speaking in public? This program, by Lyn Blackwell, will explore the origins of Nichols' extraordinary political career and her relationship with the broader campaign for women's rights in the 1850s. A Vermont Humanities Council event hosted by Champlain College. Burlington, Champlain College, 3:30 p.m.
