Celebrating Women in History


Feb 13, 2006, 07:55

In March, the Calvert Marine Museum celebrates the contributions women have made throughout history. All programs take place in the Exhibition Building auditorium and are FREE.

Thursday, March 9th, 2 pm, staff from St. Mary’s City will present “The Plight of Women in 17th Century Maryland.”

Thursday, March 16th, 2 pm, Harriet Stout, Curator at the Chesapeake Beach Railway Museum will present “Grandmother’s Trunk.” Come and watch this eye-opening presentation as Ms. Stout strips down to the restrictive undergarments our great-grandmothers had to endure.

Thursday, March 23rd at 6:30 p.m. CMM MOVIE NIGHT presents “Iron Jawed Angels.” This acclaimed HBO drama recounts for a contemporary audience the struggle of suffragists who fought for the passage of the 19th Amendment. Focusing on the two defiant women, Alice Paul (Hilary Swank) and Lucy Burns (Frances O'Connor), the film shows how these activists broke from the mainstream women's-rights movement and created a more radical wing, daring to push the boundaries of political protest to secure women's voting rights in 1920 America.
