Program on ‘First Lady of the Farm’ set for KYL

Humanities Iowa’s Abby Dubisar will present a look into the life work of Ruth Buxton Sayre, known during her lifetime as the “First Lady of the Farm.”

The program will be held at Kendall Young Library on Thursday, Sept. 7 beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Dubisar will discuss how Sayre helped to redefine the accepted characterization of women on farms, and convinced women of their role in postwar construction.

There is no cost to attend the presentation.
