“Fire Within Her: An American Folktale About Women’s Liberation”
Sunday, September 20, 3:00 PM
Hartland native Kendra Comstock brings her Boston-based early music ensemble and guest artists to Vermont this fall, and they will make a stop at Damon Hall! It’s an original folk opera that weaves together the voices of trailblazing women across centuries. From Anne Hutchinson’s defiance in Puritan Boston to Susan B. Anthony’s fight for women’s suffrage to Betty Friedan’s challenge to the “feminine mystique,” their stories unfold through shape-note songs, Shaker hymns, protest anthems, and contemporary folk music. Through resilience, courage, and song, The Fire Within Her ignites the voices of the past to inspire today’s changemakers.
