A Women’s History Month Special Presentation: The Agitators
Description
Join us in the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum & Visitor Center for a Women’s History Month special presentation on The Agitators, Three Friends Who Fought for Abolition and Women’s Rights.
Dorothy Wickenden, the author of the critically acclaimed The Agitators and the executive editor of The New Yorker, will discuss how three radical friends–Harriet Tubman, Frances Seward and Martha Coffin Wright–fought to overturn slavery and gain rights for women as the nation broke apart. Wickenden’s talk will include a PowerPoint presentation with some vivid perspectives on the Battle of Gettysburg, where Wright's son faced Pickett's Charge, and on Tubman's participation in a major river raid in Port Royal, South Carolina. There will be time for a question-and-answer session.
Dorothy Wickenden will be signing her book in the Museum Lobby from 6-6:45 p.m. The Agitators, Three Friends Who Fought for Abolition and Women’s Rights will be available for purchase.
The free presentation will follow the book signing in the theater from 7-8 p.m. Tickets are required in advance.
