We may think of the Victorian era as a period of constraints on women’s lives, but 19th-century New York City was full of women who defied those expectations—women of different classes, races, and ideologies who challenged social expectations.

Join us for an educators’ evening highlighting their stories and hear from curator Dr. Marcela Micucci about the exhibition Rebel Women: Defying Victorianism.
