The inventor of GPS who couldn't find a job. The ACLU co-founder who was booted from the group for being too radical. The 16-year-old who rode twice the distance of Paul Revere to warn of approaching British troops. Join us for the inspiring stories of these and other groundbreaking women who changed the course of history and then were mostly forgotten.

Since 2011, Sharon Spaulding has been researching and writing the stories of groundbreaking women who accomplished remarkable things and then fell into the shadows of history. For the last five years, she has produced a monthly newsletter, Women Make History: Stories we should have learned in school. A collection of these stories will be published this fall. She is also at work on a book about suffragist and reproductive rights activist Mary Ware Dennett. When not in Alstead during the summers, she lives outside Salt Lake City with her husband, and their dog, Hank.
