Description

Press release from the Stevens Memorial Library: March 14, 2021 Join us on 3/21 @ 2PM for the documentary Borderland: Life & Times of Blanche Ames Ames. This program is pre-recorded. Register on our calendar here! A 54 minute documentary that chronicles the life of a woman who was born in the 19th century, worked to change the 20th century, and whose wisdom still resonates today in the 21st century. Blanche Ames Ames (1878-1969) was an artist, an activist, a builder, an inventor, a birth control maverick, and a leader of the women's suffrage movement in Massachusetts. She was a woman of privilege who was not afraid to shock polite society. Her name doesn't appear in most American history books. This, too, is part of her story.
