What A Gal! Sandra Weber Author

The first day in Shepard's Park, Lake George I met an author. The reason it was so unbelievably fascinating is two weeks before, I ordered a photograph of "The Portrait Monument" of Lucretia Mott, Susan B. Anthony, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton that is located in the US Capitol Rotunda, this author wrote a book about the statue. What? Coincidence?

These women (Mott, Anthony, & Stanton) were pivotal in getting the right to vote for women made into law here in the USA.  It is a right that many women take for granted, but not all of us.  Susan B. Anthony and her very accomplished friends wrote incredible documents, speeches, and spoke publicly about women coming out from behind their husbands' coattails to have a voice in the laws governing all women. It must have been exciting to be united as women working together for the right to vote.

This author Sandra Weber, wrote  a book, about this statue.  She obtained a month long permission to be in Washington DC to do scholarly research about Adelaide Johnson, the sculptor.  When I met her I was thrilled to meet a woman, like me, that was interested in the women that originally started the women's movement back in 1848 in Seneca Falls, NY.  The founders of any movement  are worth studying to get true insight into who they were and what they stood for, and the true foundation of the movement hey founded.

Sandra Weber also does portrayals, lectures, and book signings, You can contact her: https://www.sandraweber.info/book.html

Her next appearance is next week August 26, 2018 in Chapman Museum 1-3 pm, Glens Falls, NY.
What a gal! Thankful to have met her, hope to be friends.
