Voting Down the Rose: Florence Brooks Whitehouse and Maine’s Fight for Woman Suffrage

Boothbay Region Historical Society

Boothbay Region Historical Society presents Voting Down the Rose: Florence Brooks Whitehouse and Maine’s Fight for Woman Suffrage with by Anne B. Gass Wednesday, March 20 at 5:30 via Zoom

The Boothbay region’s involvement with the women’s suffrage movement runs deep. The Boothbay Region Historical Society’s
collections include a 1917 petition for women’s suffrage, signed by hundreds of local women. In fact, our museum was previously the home of Elizabeth Reed, who was active in the movement. She was no doubt inspired by the work of Florence Brooks Whitehouse, who summered on Squirrel Island.

From 1914-1920 Florence led Maine’s effort to win voting rights for women, battling conservative views of women’s roles and the political intrigues that sought to keep them in the home and out of the voting booth.

Join Maine Author Anne B. Gass on Zoom as she shares the inspiring story of her great-grandmother. The talk is based on her book, Voting Down the Rose: Florence Brooks Whitehouse and Maine’s Fight for Woman Suffrage, and is accompanied by slides of historic photos.

Please note: this is a virtual presentation only. Pre-registration is required to access the Zoom link. A link to the recording will also be sent after the event to those who register.

This is a FREE event, but donations are greatly appreciated.
