Program Description
Event Details
Join us for a virtual tour of the New York Historical Society's exhibit, "Women's Work". How have broad trends in American economic, legal, and political history encouraged women to take certain jobs and restricted them from “men’s work?” How have race, ethnicity, social class, legal status, sexual orientation, and gender presentation impacted these distinctions? The Center for Women’s History showcases approximately 45 objects from New-York Historical’s own Museum and Library collections to demonstrate how “women’s work” defies categorization, has been essential to American society, and is inherently political.
Registration (via ZOOM) is required for this virtual event.
