About the Author
Page Harrington is the past executive director of the National Woman's Party at the Belmont-Paul Women's Equality National Monument (formerly Sewall-Belmont House & Museum). Harrington had direct responsibility over all operations, staff, and administration as well as oversight of historic property and archival collection of 30,000 pieces. During her tenure she curated exhibits and guided collection staff and interns on maintenance and conservation of the nationally recognized archive of suffrage artifacts, photographs, textiles, and rare books. She created partnerships with nationally and internationally noted academic scholars and universities that allowed NWP to expand education programs connecting historical content to current political and social topical issues for women today. This included active collaboration with national philanthropic and educational partners including Kettering Foundation, Girl Scouts of the USA, Library of Congress, and National Archive Foundation to explore 21st century methods of engaging public around American history themes.
