WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH
Our Branch celebrated by launching a self-guided walking tour of Elmwood Cemetery in 2022. We honor nine local women whose lives continue to impact our community. Those honored are Mary Hale Dean, Mildred Summers Lucas, Francis Harrison Hays, Jessie Howard, Addie Talbott, Emma Edwards, Katherine Rudy, Elisabeth Gasser, and Louise Gasser Kirtley. Look for the brochure, available at Elmwood Cemetery, the Owensboro Museum of Science and History, and the Daviess County Public Library Kentucky Room. “Women Breaking Barriers” is complete with maps, profiles, and recorded narrative QR codes. AAUW members are available to lead tours or you may explore on your own. In addition, our Owensboro AAUW Facebook page celebrated Daviess County women whose actions contributed to our right to vote, learn, and participate fully in our community.
