Exeter History Minute - Sarah Clark

For the first 300+ years of our nation's history, there were relatively few career options for women; individual women have had to "shatter the glass ceiling" for their sisters, friends and daughters in every industry. In this episode, Barbara shares the story of one such woman — Sarah Clark of Exeter — the first female to hold the position of Treasurer in one of our banks. This Exeter History Minute is made possible by a grant from the Dan Brown Charitable Foundation, a fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation.
