Women Who Made A Difference
The Greece Historical Society’s Tuesday evening program on February 10 at 7 p.m. will feature Chandra McKenzie and Anne Coon sharing stories about a unique set of women, each with a Rochester connection, who made a commitment to others and produced a lasting legacy of influence and leadership in the community. The presentation will be held at the Greece Public Library, 2 Vince Tofany Boulevard.
The diverse women featured in “She, Unsung II” cross several generations. They possessed the ability to foresee opportunities. They made a commitment to others and produced a lasting legacy of influence and leadership in the community. Many achieved notoriety far beyond Rochester, and some profoundly altered how women were perceived, physically and professionally. Too many of these notable women and their contributions have become virtually “unsung.” This program features different women from those presented in February 2025.
Chandra McKenzie and Anne Coon are both poets and published writers who retired from academic careers at RIT. Previously, they worked together on volunteer projects with various arts and cultural organizations in the Rochester community. They have been working on this collaboration since early 2020. This engaging presentation will appeal to the intellectually curious and to fans of Rochester history, women’s stories, and popular culture.
The Greece Historical Society offers this program in cooperation with the Greece Public Library. Reservations are required and can be made athttps://greecepl.librarycalendar.com/event/greece-historical-society-51645 or by calling 585-225-8951.
