Thursday December 12, 6-7PM at Brooks Memorial Library
224 Main Street, Brattleboro, VT 05301
Free

No stranger to controversy, mid-19th century Brattleboro resident Clarina Howard Nichols was one of the first female newspaper editors in the nation. A courageous lobbyist and powerful orator, she helped lead all three major reform movements of her time: temperance, abolition, and women's rights. Join Community Researchers Nancy Olson, Rolf Parker and Dan DeWalt to discuss the life and times of a little-known character whose legacy lives on with the Brattleboro Words Trail. This event is free and open to the public.
