Susan B. Anthony House to feature
Ruth Rosenberg Naparsteck at luncheon-lecture program
Rochester, NY— Longtime Rochester city historian Ruth Rosenberg Naparsteck will deliver a lecture entitled Women’s Sphere at the monthly luncheon-lecture series at the Susan B. Anthony House on Monday, December 10, 2007. Rosenberg Naparsteck will discuss the role of women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and their need to reach beyond the home and hearth in order to effect changes in the health and welfare of the family. This outreach included campaigning for woman suffrage, pay equity, educational opportunities, and other rights denied to female citizens then, and some would contend, now.
The lecture is presented as part of the According to Anthony luncheon-lecture program. The program begins at noon on December 10 in the Carriage House, behind the Susan B. Anthony House Visitors Center at 19 Madison Street. The public is cordially invited to attend. Tickets are $20 per person and are available by calling 585-279-7490, ext. 10 before December 14. Lunch is catered by Plunkett’s Fabulous Foods.
The Susan B. Anthony House is supported primarily through the contributions of its members and donors. The Susan B. Anthony House is not affiliated with other organizations bearing her name.
Mission Statement (adopted 1/2007): The Susan B. Anthony House is a learning center through which we share and interpret Miss Anthony’s life as a champion of women’s rights, thereby inspiring and challenging individuals to make a positive difference in their lives and communities.
