Acton COA Presents Trailblazers: The Women Who Have Shaped Modern American Society

Over the last 200 years there have been many pioneering women in the United States who have shattered social barriers and blazed a path for future generations to follow. From the accomplishments of Elizabeth Blackwell in the 19th century to those of Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the 21st, these women have changed American and global society. In celebration of Women’s History Month, this illustrated talk will look at the careers and legacies of the trailblazing individuals.

Paolo Di Gregorio is a historian, archaeologist and educator. He is a Visiting Lecturer in the History Department at Bridgewater State University, and his passion for telling stories of our past is enthusiastically received by Acton’s older adults!
