Blanche Ames Ames (1878-1969) was an artist, an activist, a builder, an inventor, a birth control maverick, and a leader of the woman suffrage movement in Massachusetts. She was a woman of privilege who was not afraid to shock polite society. Her name doesn’t appear in most American history books. This, too, is part of her story. 

Borderland: The Life & Times of Blanche Ames Ames is a 55-minute documentary that chronicles the life of a woman who was born in the 19th century, worked to change the 20th century, and whose wisdom still resonates in the 21st century.

 
After the film, a Q&A will be hosted by Edmond Hands.

Edmund Hands is a local teacher of history with extensive experience in social studies curriculum mapping. He serves as a consultant for the Massachusetts Elementary School Principal’s Association for curriculum development. Author of Easton’s Neighborhoods, Hands holds a B.A. in History from Bridgewater State and an M.A. in Latin American History from U. Mass Amherst. Hands is available for scholar led discussions at the high school level.
