Circle Round
One hundred sixty years ago, a Universalist woman and social reformer, Frances Dana Barker Gage wrote a poem entitled, “A Hundred Years Hence.” In it, she shared her hopes for the future, including women’s standing in the world. She wrote,
Then woman, man’s partner, man’s equal shall stand,
While beauty and harmony govern the land.
It took more than 100 years, but women did earn the right to vote and many other victories as well. We will look back at those women who made history and speculate on what might be next.
