According to her contemporaries, Victoria Woodhull was a woman 100 years ahead of her time. Although few have heard of her today, when she ran for President of the United States in 1872, she was one of the most famous women in the country. She advocated many things taken for granted today: the 8-hour work day, graduated income tax, social welfare programs, and profit sharing, for example. Listen as Victoria expounds on her thoughts. Robin Schuricht of Buckeye Lake, portrays Victoria Woodhull.
Included with museum admission.
Harriet Beecher Stowe House, Cincinnati, OH
Weds., March 1, 7–8:30 p.m.
Praise for the “True Woman” by Catharine Beecher, her sister Harriet, and many others in the nineteenth century sought to elevate the status of women by celebrating their roles at home as wives and mothers, but this ideal was often used to confine women to subservience at home and deny them freedom outside it. For Women’s History Month, we’ll consider three women authors of the nineteenth century to see how the stories they tell reflect on the ideal of the True Woman and also speak to our time.
Youngstown Historical Center of Industry & Labor, Youngstown, OH
Thurs., March 16, 6–7 p.m.
Join us as we recognize Women’s History Month with a presentation on Thursday, March 16 at 6pm. The Ohio Humanities Council awarded Youngstown Historical Center of Industry and Labor a grant to interview and record women’s experiences in the workplace. This talk will allow the audience to learn what we’ve discovered through our interviews and how those experiences compare with women’s experiences over time. This introduction will be followed by intergenerational workshops held in June, an exhibit and presentation of findings in September, and a final presentation in November.
This event is free to the public.
