A Zoom film screening and Q & A with filmmaker William Ames and Kevin Friend

Join us and filmmaker Kevin Friend for a zoom screening of a new, 55-minute documentary that chronicles the life of Blanche Ames Ames (1878-1969): a Smith College alumna, artist, activist, builder, inventor, birth control advocate, and leader of the women’s suffrage movement in Massachusetts. Ames was also a woman of privilege, but she was not afraid to shock polite society, and many of her ideas and goals still resonate.

The film will be followed by a Q & A with producer, Kevin Friend, and special guest, executive producer, and Ames relative, William Ames.
