Herr will share highlights from her research into Colonial Pennsylvania women, a process of discovery which caused her to rethink everything she thought she knew. She found ministers, interpreters, diarists, an inventor, a fur trader, and more.

Herr will highlight Lancaster-area ladies, including Ann Wood Henry, the first woman to hold public office in Pennsylvania.
