Women Who Step Up, Not Aside
In this event—part music performance and part talk—acoustic music trio Trillium-239 shares songs and stories of trail-breaking women like Marie Curie, Harriet Tubman, Malala Yousafzai, Annie Oakley, and others. What drove them to step out of their expected roles to forge more difficult paths, knowing they’d face many challenges and barriers? What can we learn from them? This event is part of the Humanities Washington Speaker's Bureau.
With their voices, hands, pens, and guns, they persisted—and we’ll examine the lives and motivations of these fascinating women and celebrate them in song.
Trillium-239 is an acoustic music trio. Michelle Cameron, a nuclear chemist who works at a power plant, plays cello; Janet Humphrey, a cyber engineer, plays guitar; and Mary Hartman, a retired environmental scientist, plays guitar and banjo. Mary and Janet also write some of the trio’s songs.
