From Maria to Alice to Eleanor: Extraordinary Women in Extraordinary Times

By: Stephanie Denzel

Eleanor Roosevelt: Wife of President Franklin Roosevelt and the longest-serving First Lady of the United States

Maria Longworth Storer: The founder of Rookwood Pottery in Cincinnati and granddaughter of Cincinnati businessman Nicholas Longworth

What do these two women have in common? One shared family member- Alice Roosevelt Longworth.

Join in on the virtual conversation Tuesday, January 26 at 7 p.m. with D. Lynn Meyers, the Producing Artistic Director at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati, and historians Nancy Broermann and Constance Moore as The Mercantile Library takes you inside the lives of these three extraordinary women. Save your spot here.

They will explore the challenging circumstances they faced - world wars, a pandemic, social upheaval - and the contributions each made all while in the glare of the public spotlight.

This program is presented by The Mercantile Library and Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati. It is free and open to the public via Crowdcast.
