BWHT is pleased to share two excellent new publications researched by the Women’s History Group of the Brighton Allston Historical Society (BAHS): Women’s History Initiatives: Gender, Culture, People-Centered Development  and the companion volume, Women of Vision: Brighton Allston Women’s Heritage Trail.

The trail features 16 notable women and women’s organizations that have enriched the life and history of the Brighton and Allston communities for 300 years — including Hannah Webster Foster, the first American-born woman to write and publish a novel.
