Our Annual Meeting is coming up! Register today and join NCWHS in hosting Jennifer Rycenga, author of Schooling the Nation: The Success of the Canterbury Female Academy (University of Illinois Press, 2025), as she demonstrates how the Canterbury Academy proves its success – in its inception, its sustenance, its legal battles, in the rich and varied lives of the students after the school, and in the myriad accomplishments of their descendants.

Join us for a lively discussion of these early non-violent yet tenacious students, teachers, and their abolitionist networks. Their example, against seemingly insurmountable opposition, can speak to us today.
