General (Zoom) Meeting: October 17, 2020, 10:00 AM
Dr. Mona Siegel, Sacramento State history professor and author of Peace on Our Terms: The Global Battle for Women’s Rights After the First World War, was our October guest speaker.
Dr. Siegel presented the remarkable international career of suffragist, civil rights activist, and AAUW member Mary Church Terrell. From picketing the White House to meeting with global diplomats in Paris, Terrell was at the forefront of the battle for women’s rights and racial justice a century ago. This is a timely and important topic now, given the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment and the important role women will be playing in the upcoming election.
