Enterprising Women: 250 Years of American Business
This exhibition, presented in collaboration with the Schlesinger Library of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University and the Museum of Our Natural Heritage in Lexington, Massachusetts, told the compelling story of American women in business from the colonial era to the present.
Enterprising Women brought to life the stories of some 50 intriguing women who helped shape the landscape of American business. Artifacts and costumes, diaries and letters, business and legal documents, photographs and paper ephemera, audio recordings, and on-line interactive technology reveal the trials and triumphs of this fascinating and diverse group. A Web site and a fully illustrated catalogue accompanied the exhibition, as well as a full range of educational and public programming, including lectures, teacher workshops, oral history initiatives, and lesson plans for middle and high schools.
