Pacifica Radio Archives’ “From the Vault”
Each week the Pacifica Radio Archives chooses a program "From the Vault" of broadcasts in a half-hour program.
This week on From The Vault, we continue our celebration of Women’s History Month with a radio docu-drama from Pacifica’s flagship station KPFA in Berkeley CA. The Pacifica Radio Archives has several outstanding series tracing outstanding achievements by women in America.
Together, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton founded equal rights and suffrage associations in America. This program, produced by Joanna Brouk and Dorothy Gilbert in 1980 traces the lives and friendship of Anthony and Stanton, their work, and includes the reading of some of their remarkable letters and lectures.
In addition, we have a special excerpt from the KPFA 1959 documentary series, The American Woman, is a reading of Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s new declaration of independence for women delivered on July 18th, 1848 at The first convention for women’s rights in Seneca Falls, New York.
This program is part of our current preservation and access project, American Women Making History and Culture: 1963-1982 funded in part by a matching grant from the NHPRC at the NARA called Documenting Democracy access to historical records.
