Invites You To
Girlhood (It’s Complicated)
Virtual Opening Event
7pm ET, October 8, 2020
From Helen Keller to Naomi Wadler, girls have spoken up, challenged expectations and been on the frontlines of social change. Through their lives, what it means to be a girl—and a woman—has always been part of the American conversation. Girlhood (It’s complicated) showcases unexpected stories of girlhood, engaging the audience in timely conversations about women’s history. Join us for the virtual celebration to kick off the exhibition.

The history of girlhood is not what people think; it is complicated.
Young women are often told that girls are “made of sugar and spice and everything nice.”
What is learned from history is that girls are made of stronger stuff.
THEY HAVE CHANGED HISTORY.
