JANE ADDAMS HULL-HOUSE MUSEUM GENDER & SEXUALITY PUBLIC TOUR
Wednesday & Friday 3:00pBring Chicago history out of the closet! Join
us for a tour of Hull-House and explore early 20th century stories of
gender non-conformity, diverse definitions of family, and fierce
self-expression. Hull-House was world-renowned for supporting
immigrants and world peace, but did you know it paved the way for LGBT
rights? We will address the question, “Was Jane Addams a lesbian?”
and consider the historic context that complicates both the answer and
the question itself. On this participatory tour, we will explore
historic artifacts and contemporary conversations. We will consider
how history connects with today’s struggles for social justice and
how we might expand our own notions of gender and sexuality.
