Generates awareness of the name and achievements of Antoinette Brown Blackwell by bestowing an annual award in her name to an outstanding Henrietta woman, by awarding an annual scholarship to an outstanding Henrietta student, and by mounting events and projects which promote her legacy

The Antoinette Brown Blackwell Society is dedicated to inspiring the growth of every individual by promoting the legacy of this extraordinary woman.

Antoinette Louisa Brown Blackwell (1825-1921) became one of the most outspoken and remarkable women of her era: an ordained minister, a leader in women’s rights and women’s suffrage, a published author, a prominent public speaker, and a philosophical thinker. Her life was punctuated by “firsts” that have significance within women’s history. Always ahead of her time, she wrote prolifically on religion and science, constructing a theoretical foundation for sexual equality.

The Society awards an annual scholarship and selects a Henrietta Woman of the Year to honor in Antoinette’s name. Visit www.anoinettebrownblackwell.org for more information on our programs and becoming a member.
