SUMMARY:Learn to Reset\, Recharge and Reconnect with Your Community
DESCRIPTION:Our modern conveniences are overwhelming us. We own twice the amount of stuff we did 50 years ago\, purging our spaces only to mindlessly click and fill them again. Social media overuse frazzles psychologists and impedes genuine connection. Online dating is at an all-time high across age groups; yet one-third of users never swipe right into offline romance. Americans bill more out-of-office hours than any other advanced economy\, and auto-binge-watching has replaced the much-anticipated movie marathon. \nIn a world architected for “overwhelm\,” it’s no wonder we can feel exhausted and unsure. We prize sisterhood and community among our greatest assets. Yet\, too often we get stuck in ruts and time passes swiftly. We feel a call to help others but struggle to find the time or energy to move forward and create lasting change. \nTo learn more about how you can reset\, recharge and reconnect with your community\, come to Wilton Library on Thursday\, May 9 at 7 p.m.. Wilton’s own Jacqueline Raposo will be speaking about The Me\, Without: A Year Exploring Habit\, Healing\, and Happiness\, her first book. \nRaposo will talk about how our brains can sometimes accidentally wire us for inactivity. She’ll explain what we can do to reset\, regroup and recharge ourselves first and foremost. Then\, with this renewed focus on “self\,” we can better connect to the communities we wish to serve. \nRaposo is an expert interviewer and writer of articles for Food & Wine\, Saveur and Cosmopolitan. She is the producer and co-host of “Love Bites Radio\,” and she connects chronic illness/disability advocates with protest events as the co-founder of #MarchingWithMe. \nAdmission is $20\, $10 for students. Please register in advance\, as seating is limited. Mail your check payable to “P.E.O. Chapter W” to Del Overby\, 105 Pine Ridge Rd.\, Wilton\, CT 06897\, or register online (a small fee applies). \nA light dessert reception will follow\, with an opportunity to meet Raposo and purchase her book\, courtesy of Elm Street Books. \nThis event is a fundraiser sponsored by The PEO Sisterhood\, an international philanthropic and educational organization that promotes educational opportunities for women. All proceeds will benefit PEO grants\, awards and scholarships to support women’s education. For information about PEO\, email Debbie Zucco or visit the PEO website.

SUMMARY:Woman's Club Invites All to First '19-'20 Meeting with Free Fall Fashion Show
DESCRIPTION:A Fall Fashion Show kicks off the Wilton Woman’s Club new year on Monday\, Sept. 9 at 10 a.m.\, at the WEPCO complex (48 New Canaan Rd.). The fashion show event is free for all Wilton women\, current members\, and those interested in learning more or joining the club. \nRefreshments will be served\, and there will be plenty of time to meet new friends and mingle with old. \nMembers of the Woman’s Club will be modeling the latest fall style featuring clothes from local boutiques ‘B’ Chic\, Blue Star Bazaar\, Open House\, and Snappy Gator. On hand for hair touch-ups and makeup will be Janet Montalbano of Let’s Make Up Wilton. Attendees will be able to chat with Janet and other experts from the stores on the newest trends. \n“At Blue Star Bazaar we try to balance current trends with comfortable\, classic\, flattering styles that always work\,” says Megan Abrahamsen\, owner of Blue Star Bazaar. “Some of the must-have trends and pieces for this fall include animal prints (from leopard to reptile); cozy\, plush textures in pullovers and sweaters; long pleated skirts; and faux fur–from jackets to accessories.” \nOpen House has a different take on the season. “We are not tied to the current fashion trends. Instead\, we shop the market looking for pieces we know our customers will love\,” says the store’s Leslie Hueglin. “This season is all about comfort while still looking stylish. Basic bottoms paired with a new sweater or top will take you from the school pickup line to drinks with friends.” \n‘B’ Chic owner Erica Malhotra\, just celebrated 13 years in Wilton and the eighth year in a row her store was named “Best Jeans in Fairfield County\,” so naturally she’s excited for fall and it officially being jeans season.  “We carry styles that are effortlessly chic and comfortable. Big this season is the crop flare and the high-waist straight leg in a vintage wash–AKA the “Mom” jean. Boot-cut is back\, and black-coated jeans are on-trend for evenings out.” \nSnappy Gator has great looks from their fall season lineup\, from casual to cocktail and a stylist to help with every detail. \nDuring Monday’s meeting\, the Woman’s Club executive board will also preview the 2019-20 social events\, including a fall trip\, holiday shopping night\, holiday luncheon\, a wine/chocolate event in February and a spring outing in May. All of this culminates in the club’s Annual Fashion Show Fundraiser in April. Last year’s Spring Fundraiser raised $28\,000 for the Wilton Land Conservation Trust and their project\, Save 183 Ridgefield Road. \nCommunity Service chairs Suzy Curtice and Wendy Nadel will outline numerous ways club members can get involved. These include stocking the Wilton Social Services food pantry; serving seniors lunch at Ogden House; sorting donations at Person-to-Person Clothing Center in Darien; helping clients shop at the Person-to-Person food pantry in Norwalk; as well as preparing meals for delivery to homebound Wilton residents over the holidays. \nMoms and daughters can also find opportunities to volunteer together through the Woman’s Club Junior Leadership Program\, such as helping out with Minks to Sinks\, and assembling and delivering Thanksgiving and Holiday meals to Wilton seniors. \nMembership in the Wilton Woman’s Club offers many ways to give back to the community and help serve others in Wilton and the surrounding towns. For more information about the club’s activities and membership visit the Woman’s Club website.

SUMMARY:Anne Gardiner Perkins Author Talk–"Yale Needs Women:  How the First Group of Girls Rewrote the Rules of an Ivy League Giant"
DESCRIPTION:The year 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of Yale University first admitting women students. In the summer of 1969\, young women across the country sent in applications to Yale University for the first time. The Ivy League institution dedicated to graduating ‘1\,000 male leaders’ each year had finally decided to open its doors to the nation’s top female students. \nThe landmark decision was a huge step forward for women’s equality in education. However\, this first class of women found themselves immersed in an overwhelmingly male culture they were unprepared to face. Yale Needs Women\, an unflinching account of a group of young women striving for change\, is an inspiring story of strength\, resilience\, and courage that continues to resonate today. \nAnne Gardiner Perkins attended Yale University\, where she earned her BA in history and was the first woman editor-in-chief of the Yale Daily News. She is also a Rhodes Scholar and completed a BA in modern history at Balliol College\, Oxford University. She has spent her life in education\, from urban high school teacher to state-level policy maker. She received her Ph.D. in higher education at UMass Boston and has presented papers on higher education at leading conferences. A Q&A will follow the talk. Books will be available for purchase and signing.

SUMMARY:Women’s Suffrage Centennial in Wilton:  Citizens at Last: Hannah Ambler\, Grace Schenck\, and the Vote [Exhibition]
DESCRIPTION:2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment guaranteeing and protecting the right to vote for (some) women. Pre-COVID\, the State of Connecticut launched the CT Women’s Suffrage Commission and encouraged municipalities and non-profits to work together to celebrate this anniversary.  A number of Wilton organizations planned events and activities to celebrate this important milestone. Originally scheduled to run as an in-person exhibit from June-September\, this exhibition has transitioned online.  \nOn November 2\, 1920\, Hannah Raymond Ambler proudly wrote “It is my first vote” in her daily journal. This triumphant and poignant phrase\, underlined for emphasis\, captures the voice of just one of the women in Wilton who campaigned for suffrage. Grace Knight Schenck\, a force to be reckoned with in the community\, was a leader who organized the first women’s suffrage meeting in town. The stories of these two women are at the heart of the Wilton Historical Society’s online exhibition “Citizens at Last: Hannah Ambler\, Grace Schenck and the Vote\,” which joins the national recognition of the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment\, guaranteeing and protecting women’s constitutional right to vote. \nThe exhibition will explore objects\, images\, texts\, historic costumes\, vignettes\, and music to illustrate the activities and contributions of Wilton suffragists\, with a special focus on Hannah Ambler and Grace Schenck—placing the local story in state and national context. \nTheir last names may be well known in Wilton–Ambler Farm and Schenck’s Island are local landmarks–but their individual lives are not. This exhibition will shine a light on Hannah\, Grace\, and other Wilton women who became citizens at last in 1920. \nCitizens at Last:  Hannah Ambler\, Grace Schenck and the Vote will be available indefinitely on the Wilton Historical Society website. \nThis exhibition was made possible with the generous support of the Elizabeth Raymond Ambler Trust. \n

SUMMARY:A Talk by Dr. Julie Hughes–"Caring for the Vote:  Mothers and Suffragists in Wilton\, CT"
DESCRIPTION:A Talk by Dr. Julie Hughes on Zoom \nHannah Ambler and Grace Schenck’s last names may be well known in Wilton–Ambler Farm and Schenck’s Island are local landmarks–but their individual lives are not. Join the Wilton Historical Society on Thursday\, Oct. 22 from 12:30-1:30 p.m. for an informative and engaging talk on Zoom by local historian Dr. Julie Hughes. \nHer talk\, “Caring for the Vote: Mothers and Suffragists in Wilton\, Connecticut\,” will explore the origins of Hannah Ambler and Grace Schenck’s engagement with this progressive movement. What awakened their interest in suffrage\, and what kind of women did they come to believe they needed to be in order to win–and deserve–the vote? \n“The answer to these questions emerges from what I call the politics of caring\,” says Hughes\, “as mothers\, club women\, society women\, teachers\, and health professionals.” A Q&A session follows the talk. \nIn 1920\, Hannah Raymond Ambler (1843-1925) of Ambler Farm was a lifelong Wilton resident and elderly widowed mother who managed her own finances and rental properties throughout southern Fairfield County. Grace Knight Schenck (1877-1931) was a newcomer in town with her Belgian husband and young children and had worked as a head surgical nurse in New York City. Like so many other women in Connecticut State and across the country\, Hannah and Grace voted for the first time in the presidential election that year. The program is offered in conjunction with the Wilton Historical Society’s on-line exhibition “Citizens at Last: Hannah Ambler\, Grace Schenck and the Vote.” \nDr. Julie Hughes earned her Ph.D. in South Asian history from the University of Texas at Austin. She taught at Vassar College and Queens College and is the author of Animal Kingdoms (Harvard University Press\, 2013). Since moving to the Wilton area\, she has become interested in local history. She is now archivist at the Wilton Library History Room and has worked on history projects with the Wilton Historical Society\, Ambler Farm\, and the Gilbert & Bennett Cultural Center. \nFor additional information and to register\, email the Wilton Historical Society to receive a link to the event with information on submitting questions. Suggested contribution of $10.

SUMMARY:Booked for Lunch: Yale Needs Women: How the First Group of Girls Rewrote the Rules of an Ivy League Giant
DESCRIPTION:Join the next “Booked for Lunch” book talk on Zoom! “Yale Needs Women: How the First Group of Girls Rewrote the Rules of an Ivy League Giant” with author Anne Gardiner Perkins. \nThe news was so shocking that the New York Times ran it on the front page. \nYale\, which had banned women undergraduates for the previous 268 years\, was finally going co-ed. A student editorial praised Yale’s decision as a “personal triumph” for Yale President Kingman Brewster. And yet\, had Brewster had his way\, Yale would never have admitted women at all. \n“Yale Needs Women: How the First Group of Girls Rewrote the Rules of an Ivy League Giant” will be the topic of a book talk by author Anne Gardiner Perkins on Thursday\, January 28 from 12:30 – 1:30. Part of the “Booked for Lunch” series on Zoom\, the program will feature Ms. Perkins and some of the students she interviewed for the book. The title recently won the 2020 Connecticut Book Award for Nonfiction. \n“‘Yale Needs Women’ tells for the first time the true story of the young women students who broke the gender barrier at Yale in September 1969. They came from all over the country: Chicago\, Atlanta\, Los Angeles\, Baltimore\, Boston\, the Bronx. Few were prepared for what they found when they arrived. Based on five years of archival research and eighty oral histories\, “Yale Needs Women” follows the story of five women students in particular—two black and three white—through the tumultuous early years of coeducation at Yale. Anne Gardiner Perkins’s unflinching account of a group of young women striving for change is an inspiring story of strength\, resilience\, and courage that continues to resonate today. \n“‘Yale Needs Women’ is a riveting and uplifting account of the experiences of Yale’s early women coeds—first admitted in 1969. It reveals the multiple barriers faced by these pioneers\, as it chronicles their brave efforts to overcome them. Thanks to these champions of women’s rights\, with similar efforts across the country\, opportunities for women have improved. The fight is not over. This inspiring book is a “must-read” for everyone.” — Janet L. Yellen\, Former Federal Reserve Chair; Brookings Institution Distinguished Fellow. \n“It was one thing to let women in the door; it was quite another to make them feel welcome\, integrated and equally represented in Yale’s deeply entrenched male culture … In absorbing detail\, Perkins describes the organizing efforts of those early years\, from a protest by freshman women at an alumni lunch to the creation of advocacy groups like Women and Men for a Better Yale.” — New York Times Book Review \nAbout the Author: \nAnne Gardiner Perkins is an award-winning historian and expert in higher education. She grew up in Baltimore and graduated from Yale University\, where she won the Porter Prize in history and was elected the first woman editor-in-chief of the Yale Daily News. Anne is a Rhodes Scholar who received her PhD in higher education from the University of Massachusetts Boston. She earned her master’s degree from Harvard\, where she won the Littauer Award for academic excellence and served as a teaching fellow in education policy.

SUMMARY:Student Essay Contest: Dear Madam Vice President
DESCRIPTION:The League of Women Voters\, the Wilton Historical Society\, the American Legion\, and GOOD Morning Wilton are excited to partner on a new essay contest for students in grades 3-5. \nThis year\, the essay theme will honor an inspiring historic event: the election of our nation’s first woman as Vice President of the United States. It celebrates the one-hundredth anniversary of women achieving the right to vote — an achievement in which several of Wilton’s own luminaries played important roles. As well\, we celebrate Vice President Harris’ other “firsts” — the first woman\, the first person of color\, and the first Asian-American to hold the role. \nAll students in grades 3-5 attending public and private schools in Wilton are invited to submit essays of a minimum of 50 or no more than 250 words in the form of a letter to Dear Madam Vice President\, sharing their stories\, advice\, and wishes. Essay letters will be judged anonymously on content\, creativity\, grammar\, and structure by a panel. First and second place and Honorable Mention winners will be honored and receive their awards at the Wilton League of Women Voters closing meeting in June. Winning letters will also be published by GOOD Morning Wilton. \nStudents may email submissions by Wednesday\, April 14th. Submissions must also include name\, school\, grade\, phone number\, and address.

SUMMARY:Champions of Change: Women's History Month Cemetery Walk
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate Women’s History Month\, Hillside Cemetery has created a self-guided walking tour highlighting notable women of Wilton. With this new annual tradition\, Hillside recognizes local women and their significant contributions to Wilton and beyond. You will meet a patriot\, abolitionist\, suffragette\, community activist\, Justice of the Peace\, and journalist. On future tours\, artists\, writers\, educators\, entrepreneurs\, and others will be featured. We have so many special women to celebrate here at Hillside! \nThe walk is both educational and inspirational. Meeting these special women reminds us that within each of us is the power to help make our community the place we want it to be now and in the future. \nWhile some of the women buried at Hillside were once legendary public figures\, others may only have been known and missed by a few family members. Hillside is an important place to realize the value of one’s own life by understanding that someone in the future may stand in the exact same place where you are standing today. \nSee here for the brochure and map. For more information email or call Pamela Brown 203.762.5591. Enjoy the tour!
