Lora Englehart
Lora Englehart has always been interested in American History, and in recent years has become fascinated by the wealth of little known herstory in our country. A simple article about freedom in the July 4, 1996 edition of the News Journal launched Englehart on a journey of discovery into the life of Wilmington-born Mary Ann Shadd Cary. Along the way, Englehart has learned about other incredible women and men who have made important contributions to our society, but were not included in history books because of their gender or race. It is an honor to share a piece of ourstory with you.

Her professional life is a tapestry woven with threads of French and Spanish education and business, non-profit work, and public relations for the Delaware Art Museum and the Brandywine River Museum of Art. She is also a freelance writer for local magazines.
