Elsa Von Blumen: Woman Racer of 1880
Karen Lankeshofer
A premier female athlete before a “woman professional athlete” was thought possible, Elsa Von Blumen, was a prominent figure on the bicycle-racing scene in the 1880s. All but forgotten today, Von Blumen grew up in Rochester, NY, and was soon enticed to try high-wheel bicycle riding. Join us to hear Karen Lankeshofer talk about this unrecognized hometown pioneer.

An Unfinished Business: Edna Buckman Kearns and the Struggle for Women’s Rights

Edna Buckman Kearns is best known for her horse-drawn suffrage campaign wagon, called the “Spirit of 1776,” that was used in New York City and Long Island suffrage parades, pageants, and special organizing events. Marguerite (Culp) Kearns—a writer and historian—grew up listening to her grandfather Wilmer Kearns’ stories about her late suffrage activist grandmother Edna Kearns—back when women couldn’t vote and equality seemed like an impossible dream.

Women and the Vote
2021-10-25 21:00 - 22:00 | NY
Don’t miss the new documentary, “Women and the Vote,” which premiers tonight at 9 p.m. on WXXI-TV. This film takes viewers to five cemeteries across New York state on Election Day 2020, where voters reflect on the sacrifice of suffragists who fought for women’s rights and weaves in historical photographs and reminders of the suffragist legacy.
The documentary is part of a larger project to collect and share information about New York suffrage activists through 1920, when the 19th Amendment was passed, and beyond. The Anthony Museum is a proud fiscal sponsor of this project.

Lecturer: Shenette Garrette-Scott, PhD
“Banking on Freedom: Black Women in U.S. Finance Before the New Deal”
Did you know that between 1888 and 1930, African Americans opened more than a hundred banks and thousands of other financial institutions? Dr. Shennette Garrett-Scott explores this rich period of black financial innovation and its transformative impact on U.S. capitalism through the story of the St. Luke Bank in Richmond, Virginia: the first and only bank run by black women. Join us to hear about the formidable Maggie Lena Walker, a Black woman who made her way from teller to boardroom, as she met the needs of middle and working class Blacks against the threats of white and male supremacy.

Why the ERA went MIA
Lecturer: Jennifer Lloyd, PhD
The Equal Rights Amendment, written by Alice Paul and supported by the National Women’s Party, was first proposed in Congress in 1923 but did not pass both houses until 1972. By 1982 thirty states had ratified it, one short of the required number. Why did it take nearly fifty years to pass Congress and why wasn’t ratified? What would it mean for women if ratification was successful?

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.

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.
