Empowering women of today;
celebrating women of the past
The National Museum of Industrial History in South
Bethlehem began its month-long celebration of the 100th anniversary of the 19th
Amendment, which recognized women’s right to vote, with a two-day International
Women’s Weekend on March 7 and 8. Events ranged from talks on women’s
empowerment and entrepreneurship by local leaders to re-enacted portrayals of
scientists Emma Allison and Rebecca Lukens to a movie, Hello Girls, about the
women who served in the US Army Signal Corps during WWI. Photo: Emma Ackerman, portraying
Emma Allison, with Dr. Louise Krasniewicz, professor of anthropology at
University of Pennsylvania, who is the leading authority on the real-life Emma
Allison. Ackerman is an actor with the Touchstone Theatre in Bethlehem; after
being cast as Allison, she collaborated with museum director Amber Emory to
create the script for her re-enactment of Allison’s appearance at the 1876
Centennial Exposition.

SPORTS
State Champions!
You can say that Kenny Herrmann and Cole Handlovic are pretty good
friends. The two senior wrestlers have went through their shares of trials and
tribulations over the years, but their triumph in Hershey over the weekend made
everything worth it in the end. Both wrestlers came off the mat of their final
high school matches with their hands raised high, as the Bethlehem Catholic duo
ended their careers as state champions Saturday night at the Giant Center.
