Thursday, March 27, 6-7 p.m.
The Van Cortlandt House Museum, 6036 Broadway, Van Cortlandt Park
$7.18
New York was one of the most diverse of the thirteen colonies, shaped by its Dutch colonial roots. This racial and religious diversity brought together conflicting cultural perspectives on women’s roles and rights.
In this talk by historian Sarah Wassberg Johnson, you will learn about women’s rights (or lack thereof) in Munsee, Iroquois, African, Dutch, and English culture, and how enslaved women’s rights changed over time. Learn about women’s roles in everyday life, uprisings, and war. Meet individual women like Dutch she-merchant Margaret Hardenbroeck De Vries Philipse, Esopus sachem Mamanuchqua, Jewish merchant Rebecca Gomez, Revolutionary War soldier Deborah Sampson, and more.
Wassberg Johnson is the education and programs manager at Philipse Manor Hall State Historic Site. She holds an MA in public history from the University at Albany.
