A little something to read and learn to give you a little break during this time of boredom during isolation due to the Coronavirus Crisis.
A Medfield Historical Minute...
This "Medfield Historical Minute" is brought to you by town historian Richard DeSorgher.
A little something to read and learn to give you a little break during this time of boredom during isolation due to the Coronavirus Crisis. A different "Medfield Historical Minute" will appear each day during the Crisis.
"Long before the 19th Amendment to the Constitution in 1920, Medfield encouraged the voting rights of women. In 1900 seven women paid a poll tax and qualified to vote in local elections. As early as 1881, women voted for the school committee and by 1916 women were permitted to serve on the school committee, as overseers of the poor, and as trustees of the public library."
