Presentation by "Wheels of Change" Author Sue Macy
Thursday, August 26th at 7 PM
(following the unveiling events)
St. John’s Episcopal Church,
1 N. Market St., Johnstown
As a complement to the statue unveiling, the Elizabeth Cady Stanton Hometown Association, thanks to a Saratoga Arts Community Arts Grant, invites you to hear Sue Macy, author of Wheels of Change, do a fascinating presentation on the importance of bicycling to the suffrage movement.
In the words of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, “The bicycle will inspire women with more courage, self-respect and self-reliance and make the next generation more vigorous of mind and body; for feeble mothers do not produce great statesmen, scientists and scholars.”
Her friend and ally, Susan B. Anthony stated, “Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel.”
The presentation is free of charge & open to the public,
