“Call me a female politician, I glory in the name!”
|
The Friends of the Library cordially invite you to:
“Call me a female politician, I glory in the name!”: Female Dorrites and Antebellum Partisanship
A talk by Susan Graham
Doctoral candidate at the University of Minnesota, and Kate B. and Hall J. Peterson Fellow at the American Antiquarian Society
Tuesday, August 2, 2005, 8:00 p.m.
Salomon Center for Teaching, Room 003
(Located on the Brown University College Green, across from University Hall and next to Faunce House)
This year marks the 200th anniversary of Thomas Wilson Dorr’s birth. Dorr is renown in Rhode Island history as the principal draftsman of the People’s Constitution, an attempt in 1841 to expand voting rights beyond the strict limitations that existed under the state’s colonial charter still in effect at that time. Susan Graham’s talk will examine the role of women in the Dorr Rebellion.
This event is co-sponsored by the Rhode Island Historical Society.
