Section Notes

Historical re-enactor, Jessa Piaia, will present a 2-week Seminar on the life and times of the Earhart Sisters based on her first-person interpretation of pioneer aviatrix Amelia Earhart (1897-1937), through the lens of Amelia’s younger sister, Muriel Morrissey.

Week 1 will focus on Amelia's achievements, which include, but are not limited to aviation, leading up to her 1937 around-the-world flight, with the timeline running through Muriel's publishing the first of two biographies on her beloved sister in 1963.

Week 2 will cover Muriel's sustained efforts to promote her sister's achievements while also protecting Amelia Earhart's reputation. Also discussed will be Muriel Morrissey's various accomplishments herself, as a schoolteacher and Medford resident through the publishing of Muriel's second biography of Amelia in 1987.

Additionally, the seminars will focus on voting rights for American women, as both sisters were both active suffragists – and pacifists – who proudly cast their first ballots after ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920.

Time: 10:30am - 12:00pm
