Seeking Readers for Judith Speaks

Description

The Sargent House Museum seeks volunteer readers for its third annual ''Judith Speaks'' program to be held May 15. All ages are encouraged to apply. ''Judith Speaks'' brings alive the words of Gloucester native, Judith Sargent Murray, one of the nation's first feminists. As a letter-writer, essayist, poet, novelist and playwright, Judith Sargent Murray wrote tirelessly on behalf of women's right to an equal education, an equal place in marriage, and a voice in the new republic. The writings she left behind are inspiring, poignant, wry and funny. To volunteer or to learn more, contact Daniel Sargent Weir at dsweir [at] live [dot] com
