Womens History Lecture: Who was Esto Bates Broughton?
As we celebrate the anniversary of national suffrage for American women, it is worth taking a closer look at Esto Broughtons legacy. Nan Towle Yamane, PhD, a professor of History at Cal State Northridge, will present an illustrated talk on the life of Esto Bates Broughton (1890 1956). Elected in 1920 - the year that American women won suffrage - Broughton was one of Californias first women to be elected to the legislature. She was a lawyer, journalist, publicist, and politician. Her life work reflects the activism of Californias rural women, who were able to gain the local support they needed to propel them into a larger political arena.
Light Refreshments will be served.
Tickets include Gallery admission one hour prior to program.
