SUMMARY:"The Ancient Oracles Revived: Spiritualism and Women's Rights in 19th-Century Upstate New York"
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for “The Ancient Oracles Revived: Spiritualism 
 and Women’s Rights in 19th-Century Upstate New York” with Marjorie 
 Roth\, PhD\, DMA\, Professor of Music History and Studio Flute at the 
 School of Music\, Nazareth University.\n\n\n\nIn Upstate New York we are 
 aware and proud of Seneca Falls and the role that city played in the 
 beginning of the Women's Rights movement. What we are often less aware of 
 are the many links between early feminism and the advent of another new 
 phenomenon\, born in the same year and the same Upstate region: the 
 Spiritualist religion. In this presentation Dr. Marjorie Roth will explore 
 the beginnings and the details of both Spiritualism and Feminism\, noting 
 the ways in which these two seemingly unrelated topics intersect 
 intellectually and geographically\, and how they can trace their roots to 
 the once powerful and famous Sibyls (prophetesses) of the ancient world. 
 \n\n\n\nHistorical materials will be on view from the archives in Local 
 History & Genealogy with context provided by Special Collections Librarian 
 Brandon Fess.\n\n\n\nThis presentation will appeal to people interested in 
 women's history\, Upstate NY history\, and religious history – it is free 
 and open to the public\, registration requested but not required.\n\n
