Ernestine Rose Society Projects and Events

"Let us, by honoring the memory of reformers in the past, and by aiding the efforts of those in the present, encourage the rise of others in future time." - - Ernestine Rose at the annual Thomas Paine celebration in New York, January 29, 1840

The Society disseminates information at academic and community meetings and has raised funds to restore the grave marker for Ernestine and William Rose at Highgate Cemetery, London.
