The schedule includes talks on a number of relevant topics by professors and historians and will conclude with a reception talk and tasting on Friday at 4:30 p.m. at Cultivated Cocktails.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Valerie Ann Johnson, Mott Distinguished Professor of Women\u2019s Studies and director of Africana Studies at Greensboro\u2019s Bennett College, will give the Keynote Talk on Thursday at 6 p.m. Dr. Johnson is a leading scholar of centers of gender, bioethics, disability, the health of women and girls, and environmental justice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne thing people may be surprised to learn is that the suffrage movement in NC got its start as early as 1894 in Asheville\u2014not another larger city like Raleigh,\u201d says Katherine Calhoun Cutshall, library associate for the North Carolina Room at Pack Memorial Library. \u201cAn actress named Helen Morris Lewis helped form the first pro-suffrage organization in the state. The North Carolina Equal Rights Association held its first meeting in the Buncombe County Courthouse in November, 1894.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Plans for the event have been under way for a year. Organizers are UNC\u2013Asheville\u2019s Department of History, the Vance Birthplace State Historic Site, the Thomas Wolfe Memorial State Historic Site and the North Carolina Room at Pack Memorial Library. Topics for talks include challenges for Cherokee women, stories of Asheville\u2019s Jewish women, and desegregation and race politics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis event is particularly relevant because women\u2019s history is NC history and women\u2019s historical narrative often continues to be an afterthought or a side story to the historical interpretation of white men,\u201d says Kimberly Floyd, site manager for the Vance Birthplace. \u201cIt is especially timely given the growth and interest in women engaging in the political process of our country as well as seeking and holding key positions in institutions and businesses previously reserved for men.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>UNC\u2013Asheville professor Dr. Dan Pierce will present the reception talk, <em>Daring Amazonian Women: North Carolina Women Moonshiners<\/em>. He is the author of a new book, <em>How Secret Stills and Fast Cars Made North Carolina the Moonshine Capital of the World<\/em>, set for release in October.<\/p>\n<p>The event\u2019s organizers hope to see women of all ages at the symposium. \u201cAs I conducted research for my talk,\u201d says Cutshall, \u201cI thought about all of the chances women of different ages had to encounter each other as they fought for more than 30 years for the right to vote. Lillian Exum Clement, the first female legislator in NC, was a teenager while Helen Morris Lewis traveled the county stumping for suffrage. Lewis cited Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton as influences. I like to imagine that this intergenerational exchange is the driver of inspiration and influence of women of all ages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Pack Memorial Library is located at 67 Haywood Street in downtown Asheville.
