Sandwiched In: Women’s History Month Tribute: Women in Long Island’s Past

Nationally notable women and local leaders have been part of Long Island’s history, though nearly invisible in most accounts. Authors and artists, sunksquaws and suffragists, pioneering pilots and the Janes who made the planes, and innumerable other women have all left their mark on Long Island’s past. Even “ordinary” women have played important roles throughout our history. The speaker, Natalie Naylor is the author of Women in Long Island’s Past: A History of Eminent Ladies and Everyday Lives. She is retired from Hofstra University where she taught American social history, including women’s history and Long Island history.
