Huguenot Republican Woman's Club Workshop "Action 76" Held

A Richmond Republican women's group hosted a nonpartisan event for women on the first Saturday in October 1976. The issues discussed concerned woman's rights in Virginia, especially property ownership and inheritance by married women. A panel of experts was invited to answer questions and House of Delegates member Bonnie L. Paul (1940– ) moderated. Paul represented Page, Rockingham, and Shenandoah Counties and the City of Harrisonburg in the House from 1976 to 1979.
