In the town where Susan B. Anthony was born, just six women have ever served on the Board of Selectmen.
The irony is not lost on the sixth woman, Christine Hoyt, who first ran for office after the 2016 election.
âI got to stand in the birthplace of Susan B. Anthony and cast a ballot for a woman to be the president of the United States,â she said. âThatâs when I started thinking, âIâd like to see more women, more people who look like me, serving here. How do we do that?ââ
Quote It s getting better and we have to get going. Each time a woman succeeds, it lays the groundwork for women coming up behind. With every success, you ve gotta reach back and bring someone with you.
