SUMMARY:This Sacred Soil: The Surprising Stories of Revolutionary Women
DESCRIPTION:This Sacred Soil: The Surprising Stories of Revolutionary Women  \nAn illustrated talk by Nancy B. Kennedy\, local author \nFriday\, October 16\, 2026\, from 3:30-5:00 p.m.\nHightstown-East Windsor Historical Society\n164 North Main Street\, Hightstown\, New Jersey\nRSVP to hightsewhs@gmail.com \n  \nCelebrate America’s 250th anniversary year with an engaging illustrated presentation by Nancy B. Kennedy\, whose talk\, This Sacred Soil\, explores the often-overlooked story of women in Revolutionary times. Travel back to 1776\, when New Jersey enacted a surprising constitution that allowed “all inhabitants of this colony” to vote—opening the door for some women and free Black persons to cast their ballots. \nMeet these suffrage pioneers—some from this area—who went to the polls for 31 years\, until they were stripped of the vote in 1807. \nThen\, take a whirlwind tour around the 13 colonies—12 of which enfranchised only men—and meet women whose brave and selfless acts helped the Patriots win the American Revolution despite being denied a voice in our new nation. \n\nAbout the Author \nNancy B. Kennedy is a journalist and the author of eight nonfiction books\, most recently “Women Win the Vote! 19 for the 19th Amendment” (Norton Young Readers). \n \nSeating is available on a first-come\, first-served basis. Capacity is limited to 50 guests.
