Hybrid Lecture (in-person or via Zoom) – Ashley Hopkins-Benton, Senior Historian and Curator of Social History at the New York State Museum.
In the early 19th century, women’s rights reformers were interested in tackling a variety of issues that were holding women back, including the very clothes they wore! For many reformers, the movement soon coalesced around work toward the right to vote (seen as the best way to affect change in other areas), but that didn’t stop many from trying reform dress, or what became known as the Bloomer Costume.
