MATTAPOISETT — Local League of Women Voters members attended a lecture on women’s suffrage on March 7 at the library.
The lecture was on Barbara Berenson’s recently-published book “Massachusetts in the Women’s Suffrage Movement.”
Berenson retired from her position as Senior Attorney at the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court in June 2019. The program celebrating the 100th Anniversary Women’s Right to Vote 1920 to 2020 was co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters Southcoast and the Purrington Lecture Series.
