Description

What was life really like for women in early New England? The answer may surprise you. Historian/author Michelle Marchetti Coughlin (One Colonial Woman’s World: The Life and Writings of Mehetabel Chandler Coit, Penelope Winslow: Plymouth Colony First Lady: Re-Imagining a Life) will explore not only the many challenges and constraints women faced, but also the opportunities they embraced and the roles they played in their communities. She will also address the unique experiences of Native and African American women. This event is part of Lowell Women's Week and is hosted in partnership with the Parker Lecture Series.
