BELLOWS FALLS, Vt. — On Thursday, Dec. 13 at 6:30 p.m. the Women’s Freedom Center presents the documentary film “The Founders” at the Rockingham Library.
They were not supposed to be athletes. They were not supposed to get paid to play. They were not supposed to call the shots. But in 1950, 13 amateur women golfers battled society, finances and sometimes each other to stake their claim to become professional sports women by creating the Ladies Professional Golf Association – LPGA.
This film is fourth in a series of six films by and about women, sponsored by the Women’s Freedom Center running the second Thursday of each month, September 2018 through February 2019 at Rockingham Library. If you were not able to make it to Brattleboro to the Women’s Film Festival, the Women’s Freedom Center is bringing the festival films to you.
The Women’s Freedom Center is the local non-profit organization working to end domestic and sexual violence in Windham and Southern Windsor Counties.
