Wonderful Women At Wildwood

Members and friends of AAUW/Toledo will want to visit the Wildwood Metropark Manor House on Wednesdays from 10:00 – 11:30 a.m. in February and March. For then they’ll meet several members of our branch’s “Women in History” Troupe portraying famous women for Toledo-area school children.

Since 2002, Troupe members have partnered with the Manor House Volunteers to introduce 3rd through 6th grade children, their teachers, and adult helpers to current and historical women whose lives and accomplishments are often overlooked in history and social studies textbooks.

The Troupe members await groups of 12 to 15 people in various rooms of the manor house, and there present their monologues. After one-half hour, when the “school bell” rings, each group “changes classes” and meets a different famous woman in another room.

Thus, on any given Wednesday, visitors meet a total of three famous “Women in History”—and each famous woman gives
her monologue three times! You are cordially invited to join a group!

Please phone Susan Roberts-McGlade, Historical Interpreter Director, at 419-277-0107 to be sure of space. The women you can meet this year are as follows:
Sacajawea, Rachel Carson, Margaret Sanger, Eleanor Roosevelt, Juliette Low, Beatrix Potter, Eliza- beth Cady Stanton, Marian Anderson, Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, and Ida B. Wells-Barnett.

Presenters’ phone numbers are in your Directory. So call to learn when the women you want to meet will be presenting.
