Speaker Glenn A. Knoblock will share a story of New Hampshire women throughout our history from all walks of life from the perspective of historic burial grounds and cemeteries located throughout the state. The silent gravestones and monuments within their confines which mark the final resting places of women of many demographics, speak volumes. By examining the oft-hidden clues they contain, we can learn much about their place in society and how their status evolved from early Colonial times down through the Victorian era and into the 20th Century. Through the gravestones for these hard-working, everyday women, women who made their marks in ways big and small, we can learn much about our Granite women.
Join us for this talk by Glenn Knoblock, an independent scholar who has authored more than twenty books.
