If a month Is ever desig nated as ''National Women's Month.” It w ill have to he August - no! March, which Is also an auspicious month for the feminine gender. More crucial events In the history o f women's movements and causes have taken place in August than In any other month. To Illustrate, the following chronological samp ling was excerpted from the Old Taylor Compendium. In one sense, the story gets o ff to a bad start In 30 B.C. when Cleopatra took her life with the help of an asp. She chose death on August 30 ra ther than be captured by Oc- tav Ian’ s advancing Roman a rm y. But better days lay ahead: On August 18, 1587, V irg in ia Dare became the fir s t child born of English parents In Am erica, at Roan oke island, North Carolina. It was a promising event, considering the severe shor tage of women In the colony. On August 21, 1621, "1 widow and 11 maldes’ ’ left London to be m arried In V ir ginia. Each was to be traded to any eligible bachelor for 120 pounds of tobacco. Six teen years la te r, on August 30, Ann Hutchinson was ban ished from Massachusetts for “ traducing the m inisters and the m in istry.’ ’ And on Aug ust 1, 1659, W illiam prynne, a prominent Puritan and Mem ber of Parliam ent, attacked the then-current English hair style. Women had, according to Prynne, “ . . . gonne so farre past shame, past modesty, grace and nature, as to clip th e ir tialre like men with lockes and foretops.” By August 22, 1762, \iu. Franklin became the firs t fe male American newspaper ed ito r. Her paper was the Newport M ercury, of Newport Rhode Island. Mary Baker Eddy obtained a charter for "T h e Church of C hrist, Sci e n tis t" In Lynn, Mass., on August 23, 1879, and became the firs t female religious lea der In the United States. 23 years later to the day, Fannie Farm er opened her cooking school In Boston.
