Rights hall to induct Wright

For the next two months, Auburn will celebrate the life and legacy of a “A Very Dangerous Woman” in the area's history.

Martha Coffin Wright, one of the five women to organize the historic Seneca Falls Convention in July 1848, will be inducted into the village's National Women's Hall of Fame on Sunday, Oct. 7.

Before she joins fellow women's rights pioneers Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton in the hall, Wright will be the focus of a three-day presentation by historians and authors at the Auburn Public Theater beginning Friday, Aug. 17.
