IN HONOR OF WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH: will be showing the epic documentary film, "Not For Ourselves Alone: The Story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony" on two nights this week. Reverend Jeffrey B. Symynkywicz hosts the film as part of the Church's "Free Market of Ideas Series." It will be shown in two parts on Wednesday, March 2 and Thursday, March 3 at 7:30 p.m. at the downtown (790 Washington Street) venue.
Not For Ourselves Alone tells the story of one of the most compelling and influential friendships in American history. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony were born into a world completely controlled by men. By the time their lives were over, they had changed the entire fabric of American life for the better. With superb cinematography, compelling interviews, and rare historical photographs, the award-winning film provides an unforgettable dual portrait of two great Americans, who worked together to improve the lives of women everywhere.
