On 7/20/2023 at 7 pm, the Bristol Historical Society, located at Howden Hall 19 West St., will present Linda Radtke. Linda will be speaking on "From the Parlor to the Polling Place'. Singer and historian Linda Radtke, in period garb and "Votes for Women" sash, celebrates the centennial of the passage of the 19th Amendment, specifically highlighting the decades-long persistence of Vermonters, both women and men. Radtke also traces the movement's alignment with other social justice initiatives such as temperance, labor conditions, wage equity, peace, and children's welfare. Both the songs and stories in Radtke's engaging presentation, accompanied by pianist Cameron Steinmetz, highlight Vermonters' efforts from 1840-1921, as they lobbied in churches, at "parlor meetings" at town halls and at the State House for total enfranchisement.

This talk is free, open to the public, and accessible to those with disabilities. For more information, contact the Bristol Historical Society at (802) 453-3526 or dear4@gmavt.net.
