Women Who Step Up, Not Aside with Trillium-239

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? 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. This program is supported as part of the Humanities WA Speakers Bureau. Speaker Bio: 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.
