100th Anniversary of Women's Suffrage

Monmouth County Library Headquarters, Manalapan

Lyndell O'Hara, Ph.D., shares the story of a small group of women who met in Seneca Falls, NY in 1848 to discuss the social, civil, and religious rights for women in the US. Over the next seventy years, many ideas emerged in this battle for equality, often resulting in friction between diverse groups as they fought for the common goal of suffrage. 

Professor Lyndell O'Hara has an M.A. and Ph.D. from Fordham University and a B.A. and M.A. from Empire State College, SUNY. She is currently a professor of history at Nyack College Manhattan and is specialized in Women's History in Europe and America.
