March 23; March 30 9:30 to 4 PM
How did early 19th-century women see themselves? How did society view the woman’s sphere? How do we view their lives today? Join Old Sturbridge Village as we acknowledge and celebrate extraordinary and everyday women in the early 19th century. Hear the stories of early women missionaries like Sarah Joiner Lyman and Hannah Moore, learn about the inspiring story of Prudence Crandall and her students, listen to a discussion about anti-slavery societies, learn about 19th-century midwifery, see special demonstrations, and more. https://www.osv.org/event/womens-history-weekend/
