The Work Must Be Done

The Aurora Foundation and CHS are partnering to present “The Work Must Be Done,” highlighting the activism of women of color in Connecticut in the early 20th century. Exciting new research by Goodwin College Assistant Professor Brittney Yancy and CHS Research Historian Karen Li Miller shows the many ways that women of color were active leaders who developed their own associations, both nationwide and state-based, to achieve social and political reforms, including working for woman suffrage.

Jenny Steadman, Executive Director of the Aurora Women and Girls Foundation, will offer current data on women’s civic participation in Greater Hartford to complement the historical perspective on diverse women’s leadership with the present day evidence of the impact women leaders have on our community.
