Please join the League of Women Voters of Lexington on Saturday, March 16, from 2-4pm a performance to commemorate Women’s History Month. Along with Kentucky Humanities and the Lexington Public Library, we are excited to host Janet Scott portraying Mary Carson Breckinridge and Mary Settles.

Mary Carson Breckinridge (1881-1965) founded Frontier Nursing Service.

Mary Settles (1835-1923) was the last member of the Shaker community at Pleasant Hill, where she lived for 64 years.
