This summer, the Chautauqua stage goes virtual as Maryland Humanities raises the voices of four notable women who took action to secure their right to vote. They will highlight the unique story of each of these historic figures as they fought for their rights. The series starts in the 1600s and continues through the modern era. This week, performer and scholar Mary Ann Jung brings Margaret Brent (1601–1671) to life. A British noblewoman who resided in St. Mary’s County in Colonial Maryland, in 1648, she became the first woman in Colonial America to request to vote. A video of each performance will be posted for one week each Monday in July. Each Wednesday the performance will stream at 1pm, followed by a live Q&A with the performers at 2pm. Sign up to participate in the Q&A and you’ll be entered in a drawing to win prizes: www.mdhumanities.org/programs/chautauqua/
