Trailblazers: The Women Who Have Shaped Modern American Society with Paolo Di Gregorio

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!

Open to out-of-towners age 60+ for $5
