November General Meeting:
Important Women of the Columbian Exposition with Jennifer Scavone – November Branch Meeting
Women played an impressive role in the Columbian Exposition – the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. Sophia Hayden, Mary Cassatt, Bertha Honoré to name a few. We will learn about the Queen Isabella Association, the World’s Congress of Representative Women and the fair’s connection to women’s suffrage.
Mark your calendar for Thursday, November 14 at 7:00 p.m. to join the presentation and post presentation branch discussion/meeting online. Jennifer Scavone is the same person that presented the 10 Notable Women Artists meeting in September. Details with a link (I will confirm if Webex is required) for joining the meeting will be sent out the week of November 11.

AAUW Statement Strongly Condemning the U.S. Supreme Court’s Opinion on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization:
The American Association of University Women (AAUW) strongly condemns the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The decision overturns the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling that established abortion as a constitutionally protected right nearly 50 years ago and ignores the will of the American people, 80% of whom support legal abortion. Read full statement
