Women's History Month: Women in New Rochelle's History

Women in New Rochelle's History 


In March, 1986, the New Rochelle Council on the Arts presented a groundbreaking, fascinating exhibit on important women in New Rochelle's history. Former Standard Star reporter June Schetterer researched and wrote an excellent booklet to accompany the exhibit. In honor of Women's History month 30 years later, we invite you to get to know some of the amazing women she profiled; click here to view a scan of “A Celebration of Women in New Rochelle's History.”

You can learn plenty more about New Rochelle's history in the E.L. Doctorow Local History Room on library's second floor! Discover more remarkable women in the New Rochelle Walk of Fame – right outside the library doors in Ruby Dee Park at Library Green.
