Not Content on the Sidelines: Judith Sargent Murray's courage, faith, and action

In an illustrated talk and with excerpts from Murray's writing, Bonnie Hurd Smith brings to life the 18th-century essayist, playwright, letter writer, and Universalist from Gloucester who championed women's equality and female education during the early days of the New Republic.

Bonnie Hurd Smith has been writing, speaking, and preaching about Judith Sargent Murray for 25 years, since stepping down as president of the Sargent House Museum in Gloucester. Her books on Murray include, "The Letters I Left Behind," "Letters of Loss and Love," "Mingling Souls Upon Paper," and "We Believe in You:" 12 Stories of courage, faith, and action from American women's history. She is currently editing Murray's letters for publication.
