October General Meeting
WOMEN OF THE WEST
Date: Saturday, Oct. 22, 2011
Time: 10:30 A.M.
Place: University Community Library
4155 Governor Drive
San Diego, CA 92122
Program:
In honor of the 100th anniversary of California
women getting the right to vote, we will present a Reader’s
Theater script called “Women of the West.”
“The Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil
War, World War I, World War II—Who do you remember?
Washington, Grant, Lee, Roosevelt, Wilson—and maybe
Betsy Ross.
Women have made up more than half of the human
race, but you could never tell that from the books historians
write.
Women have constituted the most spectacular casualty
of traditional history. History is lived in the main by
the unknown and the forgotten.” —So begins the introduction
to “Women of the West”.
Ten women from the past will visit us. Some were
everyday women who came west in the 1800s, and some
were educated women who found their prospects dim in
places such as Providence and Boston. We will also be visited
by educator Tabitha, Dr. Bethenia, and lawyer Clara.
Please join us for a fascinating dramatic performance
in which Cabrillo-Diego members in black skirts and white
blouses will read.
