FIRST FEMALE WHITE HOUSE STAFFER


       (1864 – 1941)

President Benjamin Harrison welcomed Alice Sanger as
the first female
White House staffer on January 2, 1890.

During an otherwise uneventful presidency remarkable
only for allowing Congress a free-for-all in spending public
funds, Alice Sanger’s appointment may have been an olive
branch to the growing
women’s suffrage movement that
had gathered momentum during Harrison’s presidency.

Suffragist organizers held the first-ever National Women’s
Rights Convention in Worcester, Massachusetts on this day
in 1850. 

More than 1,000 delegates from 11 states arrived for the two-
day conference, which had been planned by
members of the
Anti-Slavery Society.

The convention followed the steps laid out at the landmark
Seneca Falls Convention two years before.


Abby Kelley Foster (1811-1887)

During her remarkable life, Abby helped develop
plans for the first National Woman’s Rights
Convention.

On this day in 1969, Apollo 11 made thirty orbits of the moon which allowed
them to view the landing site: the southern Sea of Tranquility, one of the
most suitably flat areas. This area had confirmed by the
Apollo 10 ‘dress
rehearsal’ mission
in which the crew captured vital film footage and photos 
while orbiting the moon.
