Join us at the History Center on Sunday, January 4th, at 2:00 PM, as Dr. Patty Martone presents “Fort Wayne Women Who Have Broken the Mold.” This free lecture is part of the 2008 George R. Mather Sunday Lecture Series, and is sponsored by The Dunsire Family Foundation.
Retired educator Patty Martone introduces you to a cluster of Fort Wayne women who have made a significant impact in our community. From the early Fort to the present city-scene, these adventurous change agents have “broken the mold.” These extraordinary women went where women were not expected to go, did what women were not expected to do, and in the end, opened up the realm of infinite possibilities for women. “Beyond ’sugar and spice and all that is nice’ are driven, highly motivated, successful Fort Wayne women,” says Martone. “They have melted the mold and shattered the ceiling with gusto and reached out toward greatness.”
Martone is a Fort Wayne native and a former assistant superintendent of Fort Wayne Community Schools. She has won numerous awards and honors, including Fort Wayne Citizen of the Year, Fort Wayne First Woman, Allen County Woman of the Year, and Sagamore of the Wabash.
