Event Details

Join us and author/historian Dr. Natalie A. Naylor for a presentation on the Women in Long Island's Past.

Nationally notable women & local leaders have been part of Long Island's history, though nearly invisible in most accounts.  Authors & artists, sunksquaws & suffragists, pioneering pilots & the Janes who made the plains, & innumerable other women have all left their mark on Long Island's past.  Even "ordinary" women have played important roles throughout our history.

This program presents an overview of Long Island women's roles in Native American Algonquian culture, colonial settlements, the Revolution, art, aviation, civic & other activities.  The presentation, based on her book "Women in Long Island's Past: A History of Eminent Ladies & Everyday Lives", includes women with national reputations & others who are important in local history.
