Show Notes
In Cape Elizabeth, Maine, five trailblazing women made history in various fields, from suffrage fights to community service. Maud Wood Park, Annie Williams Burke, Adalena Frances Dyer, Effie Dyer Alexander, and Frances Jordan Banks each left their mark on the town. Park championed womens voting rights, Burke ran the local post office for over six decades, Dyer penned poems and edited a local paper, Alexander drove a horse-drawn sleigh to school, and Banks served as an army nurse and directed Maines first practical nursing program. Their stories showcase how everyday grit in a coastal town can fuel big changes.
