The historic marker, funded by the Wil- liam G. Pomero Foundation, recognizes the role of Glen Cove Suffragists Helen Sherman Pratt and Florence Gibb Pratt. The marker was made possible by Antonia Petrash, author of “Long Island and the Woman Suffrage Movement” and founder of The Long Island Woman Suf- frage Association. Through research for her book, she discovered the important role of the Pratt sisters in N.Y. Women’s Suffrage. She reached out to Glen Cove about installing the marker, and the city was happy to put it on display. “I think it’s important for people to know the history of Women’s Suffrage and how long and hard women had to fight to get the vote,” said Petrash. “Its important for the women for all the work they did . it was important to honor Courtesy City of Glen Cove them.” MaYoR Reggie SPinello, founder of The Long Island Woman Suffrage Association Antonia Petrash and Councilwoman Pamela The marker is located near the Glen Panzenbeck spoke at the installation of a Women’s Suffrage marker to honor the 100th anniversary of Women’s right to vote in N.Y.
