Hear the
amazing story of one of Ohio’s most remarkable and trailblazing women. Born
into poverty with little formal schooling, she rose to become the first woman
to address the United States Congress, the first female stockbroker on Wall
Street, a newspaper publisher, an outspoken advocate for women’s rights — and
in 1872, the first woman to run for President of the United States, at a time
when women couldn’t even vote. Enrollment fee is $16.00. To register for the
program <a href="https://edenvalleyenterprises.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=656de637cc82c10ef7c222d0e&id=e16cc32cde&e=03aaffc00c" style="color:rgb(70,120,134);text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">visit the class page</a> or e-mail <a href="mailto:jkrupa@lorainccc.edu" style="color:rgb(70,120,134);text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Jennifer Krupa</a>.<span></span></p>
