Women’s History Month Program: “Mary Ware Dennett – Survivor of Scandal, Agent of Reform”, Sunday, March 24th, 2013 at 2:00pm, Historic Village Hall, 2 Oak Street, Framingham Centre *** While living in the Dennett enclave in Framingham, Mary and her architect husband Hartley were leaders of the local Arts and Crafts Movement. Mary faced public disgrace as her husband pursued his client and “soul mate” Margaret Chase. After notorious divorce trials to win custody of her two young sons, Mary turned to her New England roots as a fearless reformer for the betterment of sociey. Her contributions to Women’s Suffrage, World Peace and Birth Control were significant, yet her fear of public scrutiny borne from her personal trials compelled her to hide from the limelight.
