2020 EVENTS
Sunday, March 1, 2020
2:00 PM – 3:30 PM
Location: Eastern Branch of Monmouth County Library (1001 NJ Rt. 35 Shrewsbury)
Suffragists Speak: The Fierce and Flawed Battle for the Vote
Co-sponsored by Monmouth County Branches of AAUW, LWV, T Thomas Fortune, and Monmouth County Library Eastern Branch.
Contact: 732-683-8980
Join us for this living history program “Suffragists Speak: The Fierce and Flawed Battle for the Vote.” The AAUW, League of Women Voters, and T. Thomas Fortune Cultural Center have partnered with the Monmouth County Library to present the story of the battle for the vote, with particular focus on the experience of African American women.
Living history interpreters bring the words of five women and one man to life. Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass reveal the strain on their friendship that followed passage of the 15th Amendment. Carrie Chapman Catt, Alice Paul and Ida B. Wells take us to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920. Their dialogue explores the racial tensions that continued to test the moral compass of the movement. Finally, Fannie Lou Hamer carries the story through the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
Come celebrate the centennial of women’s suffrage and consider the sacrifices and compromises made in the name of victory.
Please contact Patricia Baroska AAUW-NJ Central District Coordinator, College/University Coordinator, if you plan to attend and would like to join some of us for a nearby Brunch (12:00 PM) at Mollie Pitcher Inn in Red Bank. The Brunch price is $44.95 and is located at 88 Riverside Ave. Red Bank.

Feminist Dimensions of COVID-19 Yana Rodgers
Yana Rodgers, PhD (Economics), Professor at Rutgers Center for Women and Work,
presented:
“A Feminist Perspective on COVID‐19 and the Value of Care Work”
Free presentation with panel discussion: How women’s economic security and pay equity issues have been brought to the forefront by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Yana van der Meulen Rodgers, PhD
Yana Rodgers is a Professor in the Department of Labor Studies and Employment Relations, and in the Department of Women’s, Gender, & Sexuality Studies at Rutgers University. She also serves as Director of the Center for Women and Work at Rutgers.
Summary: COVID‐19 has exposed the foundational role of care work, both paid and unpaid, to functioning societies and economies. Women’s physical and mental health, and the societies that rely on them, are at stake. The field of feminist economics has valuable lessons for mitigating hardships as governments formulate policy packages in response to the crisis. Such policies must recognize care work as an integral part of the economic system that promotes human well‐being for all.

AAUW of New Jersey Goes to Seneca Falls New York
Coordinated by Central District
Thanks to Central District Coordinator: Patricia Baroska
The Seneca Falls Convention was the first women’s rights convention. It advertised itself as “a convention to discuss the social, civil, and religious condition and rights of woman”. Held in Seneca Falls, NY. This was at the forefront of the Women’s Movement and Women’s Suffrage…
What an Amazing Trip we had…. 42 Members from 14 Branches through out New Jersey participated. The Camaraderie was intuitive.. We shared a Breakfast of bagels and Munchkins on the Bus and began our well planned journey to Seneca Falls…. Our first stop was the Women’s Rights National Historic Park Site where the first women’s rights convention took place… Remember this is where social, civil and religious condition and rights of women were discussed and “The Declaration of Sentiments” was signed… We followed with a lovely Dinner at The Historic Gould Hotel…. A night of slumber was spent at Ramada Plaza in Geneva on one of our New York Finger Lakes…. All can say they had a Lake Front View… We woke up to an Incredible Sunrise. After Breakfast we visited the National Women’s Hall of Fame where we viewed information on inductees who transformed America in enduring ways… We visited and toured he Home of Harriet Tubman a newly established National Site… The Historic Value of this trip was most real and moving for all of us from AAUW NJ…. Before we were homeward bound we stopped at the Beautiful Ventosa Vineyard for wine tasting and a wonderful lunch. Thank YOU AAUW NJ…. An incredible journey we had…
