Lifelong Learning Lecture Series: Blanche Ames Ames and Oakes Ames: Cultivating That Mutual Ground

Presented by Dr. Liz Fideler, EdD, Sloan Research Network on Aging & Work, Boston College, Founding Member.

Blanche Ames Ames and Oakes Ames advanced women’s suffrage, reproductive rights, artistic expression, and scientific knowledge, among other accomplishments, in the first half of the 20th century. Blanche was part of women’s history for nearly seven decades and deserved to be better known for that and other reasons. Oakes’s contributions to the suffrage movement and his extraordinary scientific accomplishments might have received greater recognition had he not avoided the spotlight so successfully.

Their story is one of mutual enabling. Believing in gender equality, even if outside the bounds of what was considered socially acceptable, they named their home “Borderland” to represent boundary pushing.
