Swan Tavern Event- CANCELLED

Held at the Swan Tavern located at 1 Paxton St in Leicester

2020 commemorated the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment for Women’s Suffrage. But it didn’t start in 1848 with the Declaration of Sentiments in Seneca Falls. It started years before with the radical abolitionists and other women who fought for multiple causes thereby setting the stage for attaining the vote. The program, performed by Lynne McKenney Lydick, includes excerpts from primary source documents including letters, speeches and newspaper articles of the day honoring the women who worked tirelessly to earn the vote and other rights for women. There will be time for talking with the actor. This project sponsored, in part, by a grant from the Leicester Arts Council, a local agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
