"I very much enjoyed reading your Fall 2020 issue of the Neighborhood Buzz. I particularly liked the article on Women’s Suffrage. As much as I’ve read about it, especially this year, I learned even more from the story. I’ve never heard of the Hudson River Equal Franchise Society. The Women’s Revolution in the Rivertowns - who knew?"
