The Centennial Celebration at the Park McCullough House on August 26 included the following film created by the National AAUW office. By viewing this film, the audience got a clearer sense of what AAUW is and the kind of work we support. According to the video, “For more than 130 years AAUW has been changing the climate for women and girls. Our members have taken the issues we care about to Capitol Hill and into schools, campuses, courtrooms, homes, businesses and national conversation. We’ve been tireless advocates for equity for over a century but there’s still work to be done!”
The Centennial Celebration featured a short video created by our members, under the direction of program committee member Mary Brady. look at the radical changes made in women’s fashion from the late 19th Century to the early 20th Century as a result of the struggle for Women’s Suffrage. The story is helped along by Linda Meyer, a fashion historian and a few New England suffragists.
