The Eleanor Coade – Josiah Wedgwood Connection
On Sunday, May 21, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. DST, the WSB will host via video-conferencing, “Who Was Eleanor Coade? Why Do We Care About Her? And, What Is The Connection To Josiah Wedgwood?”, a lecture presented by Peggy Kerner, historian, collector, and WSB board director. Today, it is not unusual for young girls to grow up expecting to own their own business or head a corporation. But, in the 18th century there were extremely few women in the business world, and even fewer owned their own businesses. Learn what made Eleanor Coade an exception and how this ties in with Wedgwood.
Peggy, with a BS degree in chemistry and a MS in computer science, is a Wedgwood scholar, serves on several related boards, and has delivered numerous lectures to such organizations. She is also the WSB webmaster.
This session, representing the annual Elizabeth Chellis Memorial Lecture, will also include the Annual General Meeting.
