The Leading Ladies of Sarasota County

Sarasota County has been profoundly shaped by the contributions of local women in business, education, philanthropy, and political leadership. In this program, we’ll explore the stories of some of the county’s most inspiring leading ladies, ranging from newspaper editor Rose Phillips Wilson to educators Emma Booker and Eugenie Clark to philanthropists Marie Selby and Mable Ringling, and of course the innovative businesswoman and developer Bertha Palmer. We’ll use photographs, correspondence, and other archival records from the collections of the Sarasota County History Center to help illuminate the lives of these remarkable citizens.
