Humanities Iowa: First Lady of the Farm

Date & Time: Thursday, April 3rd | 7-8pm
Location: FPL Meeting Room 
Audience: Adults

Farm Women as Global Citizens: Post-WWII Authority of the “First Lady of the Farm”
This presentation draws upon the lifework of Ruth Buxton Sayre, known during her lifetime as “First Lady of the Farm.” An Iowa native, Sayre was appointed to President Eisenhower’s agricultural policy committee and served as the president of the Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW), among many civic roles. This presentation illustrates how Sayre had to redefine the accepted characterization of women on farms not only to fulfill her own pursuits as a writer and speaker, but also to convince farm women that they were not exempt from the responsibility of postwar reconstruction. Sayre’s papers are housed at the State Historical Society of Iowa, in Iowa City. This project features materials included in the archive.

Co-sponsored by Fairfield Public Library and the Carnegie Historical Museum. This program was made possible with support by Humanities Iowa and the State Historical Society Inc for the Humanities. 

Free and Open to the Public.
