Ridgefield Library Presents 'A Dozen Women Who've Made a Difference'

From the Ridgefield Library:

A Dozen Women Who've Made a Difference With Jack Sanders Saturday, March 12, 1 PM - Please register

Using slides, local historian and retired editor of the Ridgefield Press will describe a dozen Ridgefield women of the 19th and 20th centuries who made noteworthy contributions locally, nationally or internationally in politics, education, medicine, journalism, the arts, and other fields. Some are well-known for their accomplishments, some are not, and some have been almost completely forgotten or overlooked.

Jack Sanders spent 47 years covering the news and people of Ridgefield as a reporter and editor of The Ridgefield Press. He has also written and lectured widely on wildflowers, an interest he developed 40 years ago when he was involved in a natural history survey of the community.

This program is co-sponsored with the Library and the Ridgefield League of Women Voters in celebration of Women's History Month.

In addition an exhibit called We Fight For Roses, Too from the Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame will be on display throughout the Library from March 10 through March 20.

Throughout the duration of the exhibit the public is invited to take part in our scavenger hunt to be entered to win prizes thanks to local merchants such as Books on the Common, Peachwave, Deborah Ann's, Planet Pizza, Johnny Gelato and Ross's Bread!
A family friendly reception for this show will also take place this afternoon from 2 - 4 PM. Come and enjoy a scavenger hunt, refreshments, wandering historical women and more!
These programs are sponsored in part by Union Savings Bank. Please check here for a full listing of our Women's History Month programs.
