WOMEN MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Women have made a difference in Edenton since it’s beginning. Over the last 250 years since that small group of women gathered from near and far to protest the strong arm reach of England, the list has grown exponentially, many of them documented in Edenton’s history.  

Today, women are making more of a difference than ever before in areas of volunteerism, the preservation of historic buildings and the continued growth and well being of the future of the community and it’s youth.  

The 250 year Celebration of those 51 strong, courageous women is the perfect time to focus on a few more. The Social Light chose to highlight five Edenton women currently shining their light on subjects that matter.
