Caledon Heritage Foundation
October 23, 2007
Speaker: Ken Weber, author
Theme: Suffragette Movement
Millcroft Inn, Alton
After the Caledon Heritage Foundation's first Annual General Meeting, noted author Ken Weber enthralled the audience with a talk about the suffragette movement in Ontario and the rest of the world. His speech entitled "The New Woman Era of the 1980s" tied the blossoming of the women's movement to the rise in popularity of bicycling and the invention of the daring new garment known as the Bloomer.
