A world premiere storytelling program from 2026 Commission Recipient Linda Schuyler Ford arrives at the Byrd Center for Congressional History and Education. Raised amid the folklore of the Hudson Valley and inspired by Washington Irving, Linda has devoted her life to the spoken arts. She leads transformational retreats for women, coaches elder storytellers in reclaiming their voices, and brings narrative craft to professional development, with training delivered for organizations such as the UAW, CareerSource Florida, and Community of Hope. Her recent creative interests have turned toward ghost tales, complex literature, and hidden histories of women. Her performances have reached audiences in museums, libraries, churches, festivals, and cemeteries across the country. A memorable milestone came when she told The Legend of Sleepy Hollow on the steps of Washington Irving’s gravesite for 200 members of the International Jane Austen Society, a tribute to the writer who first fueled her imagination. The evening debuts A Woman's Issue: Madame Restell Speaks, a first-person portrait of the famed Fifth Avenue abortionist. Draped in luxury, Restell emerges as a savvy businesswoman who offered "female health services" to the very social circles that condemned her. The story follows her clashes with Anthony Comstock and other moral reformers over control of women’s bodies, revealing the steep costs of privacy, the contradictions of the period, and the personal and professional battles she faced. The tale closes with the unsettling echo that the concerns of the 1860s still reverberate today. In-person general admission is $20, with a $10 rate for students with ID, available at the door. Livestream access is $20 per person or $10 for students and can be purchased through the organizer’s tickets page.
