JoAnn Trow, from Corvallis

will speak on Women's Sufferage

Her talk is entitled "Why did it take so Long in Oregon?"

 

    "This is the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in Oregon.  Reading articles  in the Oregon Historical Quarterly led me to explore the topic in more depth to find out just why it did not occur sooner....thus the talk."

Jo Anne Trow retired from Oregon State University in 1995 most recently serving as vice provost of student affairs. She has been active in a number of community activities and currently serves as president of the Benton County Historical Society.  She and her husband, Cliff, have lived in Corvallis for 47 years and enjoy traveling in Oregon and the Northwest and participating in the many cultural activities of the community as well as Beaver athletic events.
