Historical Society Program: The Disorderly Women of NY & The Amawalk Meeting House

Yorktown Historical Society presents for Women's History Month

“THE DISORDERLY WOMEN OF NEW YORK & THE AMAWALK MEETING HOUSE” By Renee Fogarty, member of Amawalk Quakers, Society of Friends. You have heard of famous Quakers Elizabeth Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, but do you know Yorktown's Sarah Underhill's place in American History? The Society of Friends (Quakers) have been gathering at the Amawalk Meeting House site since mid-1700's. It was in these chambers where women's commitment to pacifism and equality found expression and inspired leaders in the Abolitionist and Suffrage movements. Free & Open to the Public.  No registration required.
