Victoria Jennings Ross, an independent scholar who writes and lectures on art, architecture, and social history, will talk about several early Lenox feminists at Ventfort Hall’s  Tea & Talk on Tuesday, June 18 at 4 pm. A tea will be served after her presentation. Three Lenox ladies, the Misses Kate Cary, Heloise Meyer and Mary de Peyster Carey, were all expert horsewomen, but they were also early feminists. Their financial independence and network of close female friendships allowed them to choose an unconventional life as bachelor maids, without men, marriage, or children.
