In Person: Women in Long Island's Past

Join us for this special program in celebration of Women's History Month! Although they are nearly invisible in most accounts, women have been an important part of Long Island's history. Sunksquaws and suffragists, authors and artists, pioneering pilots and the Janes who made the planes, and innumerable other nationally notable and local women leaders have all left their mark on Long Island's past. Even "ordinary" women have played important roles throughout history including civic-minded women in the Sayville Village Improvement Society. Join Dr. Natalie Naylor, author of Women in Long Island's Past: A History of Eminent Ladies and Everyday Lives as she discusses the role Long Island women played in our history. Dr. Naylor is retired from Hofstra University where she taught American social history, including women's history and Long Island history. This program will be held in person and also streamed live on our Facebook page.
