"Blanche Ames Ames (1878-1969) and Oakes Ames (1874-1950)—Cultivating that Mutual Ground"


Elizabeth Fideler

 

 Thursday, June 29, 2023

7:30pm Zoom Talk





Blanche Ames Ames and Oakes Ames advanced women’s suffrage, reproductive rights, artistic expression, and scientific knowledge, among other accomplishments, in the first half of the twentieth century. Blanche was part of women’s history for nearly seven decades and deserved to be better known for that and other reasons. Oakes’s contributions to the women’s suffrage movement and his extraordinary scientific accomplishments might have received greater recognition had he not avoided the spotlight so successfully. Their story is one of mutual enabling.
