Thank you to Assemblymember Didi Barrett, who has donated multiple copies of the 2026 volume of Women’s History in the Hudson Valley: Ten Stories from Columbia and Dutchess Counties to member libraries within the 106th district! The booklet features the stories of Lucy Graves, civil rights activist; Angelica Singleton Van Buren, White House hostess; Laurie Quinn, a recovery leader; Eunice Mauwee, the knowledge keeper of her tribe; and many more.
Assemblymember Barrett’s office produced and distributed the Women’s History in the Hudson Valley booklet in partnership with the Mid-Hudson Library System as part of Women’s History Month. The 10 women highlighted in this year’s edition made significant strides toward equality, helped others in times of need, and shaped the Hudson Valley communities we call home.
E-book versions of the 2026 edition, as well as past editions, are also available within the MHLS catalog.
