Women’s Suffrage Talk and Treats 2018

Join us to celebrate the 170th anniversary of the first Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls!
This special program features an afternoon talk by author Susan Goodier, Ph.D. and a tea highlighting desserts made from historic suffrage recipes. Dr. Goodier will present Votes for Women: Examining the Woman Suffrage and Anti-Suffrage Movements through Political Cartoons. Using the medium of 19th and 20th-century political cartoons the history of American women and their struggle to gain the right to vote will be examined. Following the talk, a light refreshment of tea will be served along with a selection of deserts made from historic recipes published in cookbooks produced as fundraisers for Suffrage organizations.
