SUMMARY:Dress Reform and Women's Rights
DESCRIPTION:Hybrid Lecture (in-person or via Zoom) – Ashley Hopkins-Benton\, Senior Historian and Curator of Social History at the New York State Museum. \n\n\n\nIn the early 19th century\, women’s rights reformers were interested in tackling a variety of issues that were holding women back\, including the very clothes they wore! For many reformers\, the movement soon coalesced around work toward the right to vote (seen as the best way to affect change in other areas)\, but that didn’t stop many from trying reform dress\, or what became known as the Bloomer Costume. \n\n\n\nThis talk will focus on the way the dress reform movement and suffrage movement intersected\, and how women reformers in the broader world were inspired by what women in places like the Oneida Community were wearing. \n\n\n\nHopkins-Benton’s book\, Votes for Women: Celebrating New York’s Suffrage Centennial\, will be available for signing and purchase following her talk. \n\n\n\nRead more at the Oneida Community Mansion House website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare:

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Too Good to Get Married
DESCRIPTION:Join Bonnie Yochelson as she discusses her new book\, Too Good to Get Married: The Life and Photographs of Miss Alice Austen. \n\n\n\nAlice Austen was an amateur photographer known for documenting Victorian society life on Staten Island. Austen became known for a group of humorous photographs in which she and her friends challenged gender norms— “smoking” cigarettes\, feigning drunkenness\, and dressing in men’s clothing—and for “Street Types of New York\,” a portfolio depicting people who worked on Manhattan’s streets. Since then\, her former home has become a museum\, and she is celebrated as a photographer and an LGBTQ+ icon. \n\n\n\nDiscover what inspired Yochelson to write about Alice Austen\, how Austen challenged and conformed to the ideals of Staten Island society\, and the historical significance of her photography. \n\n\n\nThis is an online (Zoom) event. Admission is free and registration is required. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare:

SUMMARY:Meet the Women of Revolutionary Westchester
DESCRIPTION:During the Revolutionary War\, Westchester County was known as “The Neutral Zone\,” a war-torn area where ordinary people struggled to get by while armies\, militias\, and vigilantes clashed in their backyards. The war was especially hard for women on both sides of the conflict. Join us for this special outdoor living history family day. Interact with the women of revolutionary Westchester\, from those doing ordinary tasks like spinning\, weaving\, and cooking\, to camp followers caring for the troops with herbal medicines\, to women who joined the military in disguise. In the outdoor tent experience the performances of Peggy Shippen\, who was married to traitor Benedict Arnold\, wealthy loyalist Mary Philipse\, an enslaved and then manumitted woman named Liss\, and Phoebe Ward\, who was a mother caught between two armies. History At Play’s award-winning performance\, A Revolution of her Own! explores the life of Continental soldier Deborah Sampson. Learn more from area cultural and heritage organizations highlighting the histories of diverse women with connections to revolutionary Westchester County. Enjoy live period music\, dancing\, 18th century hands-on crafting and demonstrations\, period games\, and more as you mingle and converse with the costumed performers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare:

SUMMARY:Another Declaration of Independence
DESCRIPTION:At the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention—the first formal women’s rights convention ever held in the United States—organizers delivered an address patterned on the Declaration of Independence. Their Declaration of Sentiments included a simple adjustment to Jefferson’s phrasing: “We hold these truths to be self-evident\, that all men and women are created equal.” With these words\, women’s rights advocates asserted that political equality aligned with the nation’s founding principles. \n\n\n\nOur curators discuss the Seneca Falls Convention and the Declaration of Sentiments with Dr. Judith Wellman\, Professor Emerita from the State University of New York at Oswego and Director of Historical New York Research Associates. \n\n\n\nThis event is for teachers\, students\, and their families—and everyone with an interest in history! Everyone who registers will be sent a Zoom meeting link and instructions in the confirmation email. PD certificates will be sent to all who attend the entirety of the program. Please add the Gilder Lehrman Institute to your email safe sender list. For more information\, please contact us at collectionprograms@gilderlehrman.org. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare:

SUMMARY:Frank Leslie Buys Women's Votes
DESCRIPTION:Carrie Chapman Catt said that the passage of New York State’s Women’s Suffrage Amendment in 1917 was the “Gettysburg of the Women’s Suffrage movement.” Yet just two years earlier\, New York State had voted the same measure down. What changed in two short years? One of the major differences was money. Where did the money come from? Enter Frank Leslie — just one of eight names Miriam Leslie would have during her lifetime. Who was this woman who would leave nearly two million dollars to Catt to fund the fight for women’s suffrage? Where did her money come from? We’ll be exploring the whole fascinating story in this 30-minute Zoom presentation. Presented by Nancy Brown\, historian and educator. \n\n\n\nPre-registration is required to receive the link.
