Curious minds interested in Upstate New York\u2019s colorful history of women\u2019s rights reform are invited to participate in a Humanities New York reading and discussion program called Votes for Women, starting with an introduction on\u00a0Thursday, Oct. 19<\/span>, at\u00a07:00 p.m.<\/span>\u00a0and meeting in four weekly sessions thereafter on Thursdays at the same time,\u00a0Oct. 19-Nov. 16<\/span>, at Oneida Public Library.<\/p>\n

Led by Dr. Tom Murray, OPL\u2019s assistant director, discussions over the four sessions will focus on three history texts and one novel, copies of which are provided by Humanities NY.<\/p>\n

Votes for Women, part of the OPL\u2019s centenary celebration of women\u2019s suffrage in New York State, will follow the course of the women\u2019s rights movement in the state, from the watershed convocation of women activists at Seneca Falls in 1848 through the 70 years of struggle until passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Along the way, particularly among Upstaters like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a \u201cwoman\u2019s rights\u201d were defined and redefined as the movement grew and met increasing opposition.<\/p>\n

The books selected for discussion are: \u201cSeneca Falls and the Origins of the Women\u2019s Rights Movement\u201d by Sally McMillen; \u201cElizabeth Cady Stanton: An American Life\u201d by Lori Ginzberg; Marge Piercy\u2019s \u201cSex Wars: A Novel of Gilded Age New York\u201d: and selections from \u201cVotes for Women: The Struggle for Suffrage Revisited,\u201d a collection of essays reflecting new historical scholarship.<\/p>\n

The seminar-like program is limited to 15 participants. Those interested should sign up at the OPL Circulation Desk,\u00a0220 Broad St<\/a>., and request copies of the readings.
