AMC Highland Happenings: Taking the Lead — Women & the White Mountains — Featured Evening Program

With Guest Speaker Dr. Marcia Schmidt Blaine. Ever since the White Mountains region became part of the national consciousness, women as well as men have been drawn to them. What may surprise people is how often women have been leaders in the region: from farm wives to climbers, from early hikers to modern businesswomen, from early conservationists to today’s environmentalists. The mountainous region gave women a place to explore their talents and creativity uninhibited by the constraints of urban life. Using art, stories, and photographs, this lecture explores the role women played and continue to play in shaping and popularizing the White Mountain region.

Highland Happenings are free and open to all. Call (603) 278-4453 to find out more or to be added to our monthly email list: outdoors.org/highlandhappenings
