Entangling Lives: Locating Early American Women’s History in the Built Environment
May 19th, 2022, 7:00 p.m. ET
Virtual & Free
In four books and several articles, UMass Amherst Distinguished Professor of History Marla Miller has explored women’s work in early America, from artisanal skill in clothing and textile trades to the everyday experience of domestic service to, most recently, the particular settings of health care and hospitality work. In this talk she invites viewers to join her on a virtual tour of Forty Acres, the historic house in Hadley, Massachusetts that sheltered the women whose lives are contemplated in Entangled Lives: Labor, Livelihood, and Landscapes of Change in Rural Massachusetts, published in the Program in Early American Economy and Society series edited by Cathy Matson and published by Johns Hopkins University Press, as well as the generations of pastkeepers who both preserved and elided those stories.
