M. Juanita Taylor, author of Cogslea Revisted, will speak at Wesley Enhanced Living at Stapeley. At the turn of the 20th century, Violet Oakley, artist, feminist, pacifist and socialist, lived with three artist friends at the Mt. Airy home they christened Cogslea after their four surnames (Cozens, Oakley, Green and Smith).They were commonly referred to as the Red Rose Girls. Cogslea Revisited is a novel based partly on their story. Seating is limited. Please reserve your space by calling 215-991-7110 or emailing dwaldman@wel.org.
