In 2016, for the first time in American political history, a woman was nominated by a major political party for President of the United States. Therefore, our topic for our January 11 Women’s Circle breakfast is “A History of Feminism: The Role of Worcester Women.” Our speaker is Lisa Connelly Cook, Professor of History and Political Science at Quinsigamond Community College. Lisa’s presentation will focus on two women in particular, Abby Kelly Foster and Lucy Stone. She will help us to explore these women’s lives and the critical role they played in the struggle for women’s rights. Lisa is a Ph.D. candidate in History at Clark University and is a co-founder of the Worcester Women’s History Project.
