Women in History
in honor of Women's
History Month (March)
 |
In honor of Women's History Month 2006, the Powers Museum is starting
a new section on its web site devoted to women of history from the local
community. In addition to featuring Marian Wright Powers for whom the
museum is named, the other women selected to "christen" this
new feature are women who were active in the campaign for female suffrage
and/or politics. This selection was made to correspond with the mini-display
on the history of the suffrage movement featured at the museum during
March and April of 2006.
Throughout 2006 more women in other fields will be added to this portion
of the web site and for Women's History Month in 2008, the museum hopes
to focus on women from education. We would also like to hear from viewers
especially if you have a photo and information on a local relative who
you think should be featured.
Also at this time, the museum would like to put out a call for any information
on Rev. Lucy B. Lindsey, first ordained female minister of the Christian
Church (at least first in Missouri) in 1895. We would especially like
to find a photograph of this woman if at all possible. She was active
in WCTU and YWCA work as well as possibly Chautauqua programs, but we
do not know if she ever pastored a church. Please write or email if you
know anything about Rev. Lindsey.
Do you know who these women are?
