In celebration of the 100th anniversary year of the 19th amendment,
Re-Vision 20/20: Through a Woman’s Lens looks at objects in the
Winterthur galleries through the lens of women’s stories,
recognizing the everyday women who forged a better path for
themselves, and ultimately for future generations, in creative,
intellectual, and entrepreneurial ways. Drawing upon Winterthur’s
vast museum and library collections, and highlighting objects and
manuscripts representing more than three centuries of history, the
objects in these galleries reveal unexpected and surprising stories
that touch upon complex issues associated with gender, race, politics,
religion, celebrity, and more. Objects once solely interpreted for
their significance in relation to men’s stories are now re-visioned
by casting the lens of women’s history on them and uncovering
stories of women who were not only creators and thinkers in their time
but also society’s disruptors and influencers. Curator's Gallery
Walks for this installment will occur the first Tuesday of each month
at 2:00 pm.
