History, Heritage & Nonconformity: Anne Deeter Gallaher Reflects on Her Roots

Today’s episode tells the story of a trailblazing Pennsylvania family who challenged expectations and left a powerful legacy.

              

 

 

 

Based in the Harrisburg area during the early 1900s, this family defied societal norms: a mother who began a professional singing career at 50, a daughter who became one of the highest-earning women of her time and later led the National Girl Scouts, another daughter who became a doctor and suffragist, and a son who founded a theater—still active today—that’s now on the National Register of Historic Places.

Join me for a fascinating conversation about family legacy, leadership, the women’s rights movement, and the power of the arts to shape culture across generations.
