Women’s History Month
(March 1, 2024, through the end of the month)
Women of the nineteenth century lived during a time of considerable social change. Starting in the early nineteenth century, many women became social reformers, dedicating themselves to women’s rights advocacy, abolitionism, education, and temperance. As society transformed, women stepped out of “traditional” roles in other ways. Some flourished in the arts, becoming actresses, singers, artists, and writers. It is important to note that many stories of women, especially women of color, have been lost or untold over the years. Join us at the Rolland Center for Lincoln Research in the Allen County Public Library’s Main Library as we celebrate some of these remarkable women! The exhibit is up now and will be available for viewing until the end of March 2024. See an exhibit case featuring stories of known and unknown women during the 1800s.
