2026 Frances E. Willard Pioneering Women Series Kickoff Event

  • The Carriage House at RCHS 450 North Jackson Street Janesville, WI, 53548 (map)

Christopher Reynolds, Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Davis, presents Carrie Jacobs-Bond as Entrepreneur: Forging a Path for Women Songwriters.

The program explores how Jacobs-Bond, who was born and raised and married in Janesville, overcame significant barriers to launch an unprecedented career as a singer-songwriter and publisher, at a time when women had few opportunities for creative or financial independence.

Join us for the story of a woman who overcame hardship, poured emotion into her songs, and succeeded in a field where women rarely enjoyed the kind of independence she discovered.

Beverages will be available for purchase.

$10 for RCHS members

$12 for non-members
