Please come out for the dedication/unveiling of a maker to honor Ms. Augusta Hunt, one of the first women to vote in Portland, and a mainspring of the drive to attain the right to vote for Maine women in 1920.

The marker is up to be seen now, very distinctive in the colors of the 1920 Suffrage campaign. (Ms Hunt was also the great-grandmother of actress Helen Hunt.) Speakers to include author Anne Gass, biographer of her great-grandmother, Florence Brooks Whitehouse (Voting Down The Rose, Maine Publishers Alliance, 2017) at whose Dering St. home a similar marker was dedicated this June.
