Dedham, MA – Women have made history, shaped society, and inspired the course of generations in ways both public and private, with contributions often left out of the spotlight. On Wednesday, September 10, 2025, the Norfolk County Registry of Deeds will honor the impact and importance of women in our society with an open house and the release of “We Remember Our Women,” the fourth volume in the Registry’s Notable Land Records series.
Massachusetts Lieutenant Governor Kimberley L. Driscoll will offer keynote remarks at the event, which runs from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM in the Registry’s Great Hall, located at 649 High Street in Dedham Center. The gathering is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
The booklet presents 44 profiles of women from the twenty-eight communities of Norfolk County who have impacted society through dedication, courage, and achievement. The “We Remember Our Women” booklet shares the fascinating stories of a diverse group of trailblazers who have influenced fields of medicine, environmental advocacy, journalism, literature, and military service.
Visitors to the Registry’s Great Hall will be invited to view exhibits highlighting each woman’s contributions, including historical storyboards and timelines. The event will also feature music and complimentary copies of the “We Remember Our Women” publication, all in celebration of the individuals whose efforts continue to shape life in Norfolk County and beyond.
