Bonnie Hurd Smith, Neighbor

I've been writing and speaking about women's history and local history for QUITE a while now. Also publishing. Always new stories to find and tell!

Most recently, I am the co-creator and lead writer/designer for "Salem's Forgotten Stories," a series of books drawn from the Nelson Dionne Salem History Collection at Salem State University. Our first book was on the Coast Guard Air Station at Winter Island. I am presently finishing #2 -- military and patriotic sites and stories in Salem, including a walking trail. Google the name of the series to find our website and Facebook page!

And speaking of walking trails...I am long overdue to update and re-issue the Salem Women's Heritage Trail. But there is also a website and Facebook page in the meantime.

I am also known for my scholarly work on Judith Sargent Murray, and for the Unitarian Universalist services I lead in the Greater Boston area.
