THE WOMEN'S MERCURY WELCOMES YOU

V.P. Bridget Gethins has been editing this blog for several years. The impetus for writing it was to support the Richmond, VA arts group called The Women's Mercury. We are currently producing a webcast, The Third Wave, to encourage young women to do in-depth research and share their forgotten "herstory" with the world. We are currently working the Anna Ella Carroll story. Look for our completed webcast sometime in the autumn of 2011. This coincides with the Civil War's sesquicentennial and the "invasion" of Steven Spielberg and company into Richmond, Virginia. Mr. Spielberg is shooting a film about Abraham Lincoln and his Cabinet. But who is Anna Ella Carroll? Could she be one of Lincoln's cabinet members? Click on the Women's Mercury website (below) to find out.

THE WOMEN'S MERCURY'S MISSION

To challenge women in the local, national and international communities to find their voices, share their stories, and pass them to the next generation of women through participation in the performing arts.

Bridget will continue to share more historic stories about women here in support of our mission and for your enjoyment.
