What do Emma Stebbins (the first woman to receive a public art commission in NYC), Eunice Newton Foote (scientist and pioneering researcher of the greenhouse gas effect), Isabella Goodwin (NYC’s first woman police detective), and Grace Banker (Chief Operator of the United States Army Signal Corps during WWI) all have in common? All four women (pictured, with the exception of Foote) are Green-Wood permanent residents *and* have been given their long-overdue flowers as the focus of profiles by the @nytimes’ incredible series, “Overlooked,” by journalist Amy Padnani. We’re delighted to continue to celebrate their lives as accomplishments as Padnani is joined by Green-Wood’s own Vice President of Education and Public Programs, Harry Weil, for UNCOVERING HIDDEN STORIES, presented as part of the Brooklyn Book Festival @bkbf. Learn more with us at this *free* event hosted at St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church, 157 Montague Street, Brooklyn. Additional details via link in bio. #historicgreenwood #greenwoodcemetery
