She will end her talk looking at the women who have served in the Maine State Legislature through the years in order to connect the past to the present.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Biography<\/p>\n<p>Rhea C\u00f4t\u00e9 Robbins was brought up bilingually in a Franco-American neighborhood in Waterville known as the South End.
