Suzanne Schnittman’s book, Provocative Mothers and Their Precocious Daughters, presents the engaging lives of four pioneers in the women’s rights and abolitionist movements and their four daughters. Each helped procure woman suffrage in her own way, demonstrating the richness of family influences in building activism and character. Suzanne will share some of their most enticing stories.
Suzanne Schnittman earned her PhD in American History at the University of Rochester. After teaching for many years at a number of colleges in New York, she retired to pursue her passion: women’s history. She currently works as an independent scholar, which affords her the time to research women like those she explores in her latest book. She lives in Rochester, where she participates in many endeavors that promote the area’s academic, women’s and children’s concerns.
