2019 Series in Partnership with Orange County Regional History Center
In this inaugural Brechner Speaker Series program, Patricia Farless looks at the broader quest for female suffrage, beginning with Seneca Falls in 1848 and culminating in the passage and ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. She’ll consider the sacrifices and strategies of the activists, in addition to their faults as they strove to achieve women’s right to vote.
The 2019 Brechner Speaker Series, presented in partnership with the History Center, celebrates the 80th anniversary of the LWVOC and women’s right to vote. The series is named for the late Orlando freedom-of-information advocate Joseph L. Brechner. All Brechner programs take place from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Chapin Gallery on the fourth floor of the Orange County Regional History Center, 65 E. Central Blvd., and are free.
The History Center is offering free-parking validation for the event. (Library Garage, 112 E. Central).
