Edenton ladies book program set for Jan. 26 at the Glidden Homestead

DeKALB – The Joseph F. Glidden Homestead and Historical Center’s next Soup-er Sunday program will feature a presentation on the book “Within Our Power: The Story of the Edenton Ladies’ Tea Party” by author Sally M. Walker.

The program will be at noon Jan. 26 at the homestead, 921 W. Lincoln Highway, DeKalb.

The program is free for homestead members and $5 for nonmembers. It is intended for students in fifth grade and older.

The book tells the story of a group of 51 women opposing taxation without representation in 1774 in Edenton, North Carolina. The women boycotted British products and shunned anonymity to help make a difference. Walker writes scientific and historical nonfiction children and adult books.

Proceeds from the program will support the homestead. A house tour and soup also will be provided.

The Joseph F. Glidden Homestead and Historical Center is a nonprofit organization working to preserve the home and barn while providing educational opportunities to the public.
