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. Anne has spent her life in education\, from urban high school teacher to elected school committee member\, and has presented papers on higher education at leading conferences. \nSuggested contribution $10.00 \nRegistration essential. Register by email. After you register\, you will receive a confirmation\, Zoom session ID Code\, and instructions about how to submit questions.

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!

SUMMARY:Wilton Quaker Meeting Mother's Day Peace Stroll
DESCRIPTION:Join Wilton Quaker Meeting for the annual Mother’s Day Peace Stroll on Sunday\, May 9\, 1:00 pm. \nMeet at the Stroffolino Bridge next to the Maritime Aquarium in South Norwalk in festive attire with signs of peace. Bring your mother\, grandmother\, kids\, partners\, spouses\, neighbors\, and dogs for a lively stroll through South Norwalk after we read a few proclamations on the bridge. \nMost people think that Mother’s Day was a holiday invented by Hallmark to sell more cards. But\, in fact\, Mother’s Day for Peace was instituted in 1870 by Julia Ward Howe as a response to the carnage of the Civil War.  She called on women to come together to commemorate their dead and to find “the means whereby the great human family can live together in peace.” \nOur Mother’s Day Peace Stroll will step off from the bridge at 1:15 p.m. and stroll along Washington St.\, then take a right on Main. We will stop briefly on the steps of Old City hall to take photos and read some proclamations and then return down Washington St. to the bridge. \nThis is the beginning of our campaign to encourage US Representative Jim Himes to support a 10% cut in the military budget to redirect funds to meeting human needs post-pandemic. Senators Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal supported an amendment to the Defense Authorization bill in 2020 to make the 10% cut but Himes did not. It is vital in these times of great need that we ask the military to make some cuts.

SUMMARY:Spymistresses: The Story of Allied Women Spies of WWII
DESCRIPTION:Please join Wilton Library on Wednesday\, March 1 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. for unique insight into Allied women spies in WWII. Spies belong to a special group of people with flexible identities\, elastic morals and what has been referred to by some as situational ethics. Many take dangerous risks\, complete their missions\, and live to tell the tale while others don’t. During WWII\, several women risked their lives to work within enemy territory to uncover secrets. Some were professionally trained\, and others were simply masters of intrigue and deception. They covertly served the Allies and made significant contributions to the war. Learn about some of these women who worked in the European and Pacific theaters of the war. \nJohn Cilio has been telling the stories of history for over a decade. He is a skilled historian with a collection of 15\,000 WWII photos and their press releases. He has published seven books ranging from women working in WWII and their impact on today’s business world to the history of Cessna aircraft. \nRegistration required.

SUMMARY:Women in Film
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate Women’s History Month at Wilton Library on Wednesday\, March 8 at 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. with a dynamic look at women in film. \nWomen have always been a force in filmmaking\, but often their talents were suppressed by a male dominated industry. Alice Guy-Blanche was a pioneer filmmaker and has paved the way to opening doors over the decades for filmmakers of the silent era like Lois Weber and Chaplin protege Mabel Norman. But until the rise of feminism in the late 60’s\, female filmmakers’ voices were suppressed until there were directors such as Penny Marshall\, Katheryn Bigelow\, Sofia Coppola\, and others. \nGreg Blank\, a Long Island based filmmaker\, film historian\, and lecturer will examine the dynamics of sexism in the film industry\, the challenges women have met and often overcome\, and the artistic achievements of female directors over the years. \nRegistration is required. Register online. For more information\, email Andrea Sato.

SUMMARY:WLA/WHS Scholarly Series: A Rocky Road: The Struggle for Rights in America – Dr. Aimee Loiselle
DESCRIPTION:US Women Demand Equity: From Voting Rights to Work Conditions – Dr. Aimee Loiselle\, Central Connecticut State University. \nIn the 16th year of collaboration between Wilton Library and Wilton Historical Society\, the scholarly lecture series entitled “A Rocky Road: The Struggle for Rights in America” will focus on how women from different backgrounds and regions have pursued equity by different means. \nDuring this program\, Aimee Loiselle\, an assistant professor at Central Connecticut State University\, will discuss how even the suffrage movement and passage of the 19th Amendment\, granting women the federal right to vote in 1920\, emerged from many tactics heavily shaped by race\, class\, and geography. Its passage fueled more efforts by women\, both to use the vote and to highlight its inadequacy for addressing problems like unfair work conditions and poverty. Middle-class white women\, Black women\, and working-class women had points of collaboration and division throughout the 20th century as they demanded equity on different terms. \nDr. Loiselle is an award-winning historian. She studies modern US history with an interest in women workers and attention to intersections of gender\, race\, class\, and citizenship. \nThe moderator is Max Gabrielson. A reception will follow the talk. There is no charge to attend\, but donations are welcome. Visit the Wilton Library website for additional dates\, topic and speaker details\, and registration. Registration is required for each individual session. \nAdditional dates: \nMarch 26:  The Long Road toward LGBTQ+ Rights and Equality in the United States — Dr. Kelly Marino

SUMMARY:Mark Schenker - “We Too Are Here”: 100 Years of Great American Novels by Women [Zoom]
DESCRIPTION:Mark Schenker will take a reset in his ongoing lecture series at Wilton Library on major American novels of the 20th century\, which reached the late 1950s last fall. For this spring and summer\, he will present two connected four-part series on eight American novels\, all by critically acclaimed woman novelists. These series will be offered via Zoom with a bonus: the fourth and eighth sessions will be in-person in the Brubeck Room (as well as on Zoom) with a short reception after the lecture to chat with Schenker and each other. \nThe titles span a full century and bring in considerations of race and ethnicity (African-American\, Jewish-American\, Native-American)\, and of immigration (from China\, Central Europe\, Mexico). The settings of these stories represent a striking array of American cities\, states\, and regions. \nTaken together\, these works of fiction invite you to think critically about the limitations of the idea of The Great American Novel and to embrace the broadest meaning of the word pluribus (“many”) in the traditional American motto: E Pluribus Unum. \nAttendees are not expected to read or reread all or even any of the novels\, but a familiarity with them will of course make the lectures more meaningful. \nSpring series:\nApril 12 – My Antonia\, Willa Cather\nApril 19 – Wise Blood\, Flannery O’Connor\nMay 3 – The Woman Warrior\, Maxine Hong Kingston\nMay 10 – Song of Solomon\, Toni Morrison. \nJune series:\nJune 8 – Housekeeping\, Marilynne Robinson\nJune 15 – The House on Mango Street\, Sandra Cisneros\nJune 22 – The Shawl\, Cynthia Ozick\nJune 29 – The Night Watchman\, Louise Erdrich \nRegistration is required. Register on the Wilton Library website or call 203.762.6334. As convenience\, you will automatically be registered for all eight sessions. For more information\, contact Michael Bellacosa.

SUMMARY:Mark Schenker - “We Too Are Here”: 100 Years of Great American Novels by Women [Zoom]
DESCRIPTION:Mark Schenker will take a reset in his ongoing lecture series at Wilton Library on major American novels of the 20th century\, which reached the late 1950s last fall. For this spring and summer\, he will present two connected four-part series on eight American novels\, all by critically acclaimed woman novelists. These series will be offered via Zoom with a bonus: the fourth and eighth sessions will be in-person in the Brubeck Room (as well as on Zoom) with a short reception after the lecture to chat with Schenker and each other. \nThe titles span a full century and bring in considerations of race and ethnicity (African-American\, Jewish-American\, Native-American)\, and of immigration (from China\, Central Europe\, Mexico). The settings of these stories represent a striking array of American cities\, states\, and regions. \nTaken together\, these works of fiction invite you to think critically about the limitations of the idea of The Great American Novel and to embrace the broadest meaning of the word pluribus (“many”) in the traditional American motto: E Pluribus Unum. \nAttendees are not expected to read or reread all or even any of the novels\, but a familiarity with them will of course make the lectures more meaningful. \nSpring series:\nApril 12 – My Antonia\, Willa Cather\nApril 19 – Wise Blood\, Flannery O’Connor\nMay 3 – The Woman Warrior\, Maxine Hong Kingston\nMay 10 – Song of Solomon\, Toni Morrison. \nJune series:\nJune 8 – Housekeeping\, Marilynne Robinson\nJune 15 – The House on Mango Street\, Sandra Cisneros\nJune 22 – The Shawl\, Cynthia Ozick\nJune 29 – The Night Watchman\, Louise Erdrich \nRegistration is required. Register on the Wilton Library website or call 203.762.6334. As convenience\, you will automatically be registered for all eight sessions. For more information\, contact Michael Bellacosa.
