What Is Women's Work? via Zoom

It's Women's History Month!  So what is "women's work"?  How have broad trends in American economic, legal, and political history encouraged women to take certain jobs and restricted them from "men's work"?  How have race, ethnicity, social class, legal status, sexual orientation, and gender presentation impacted these distinctions?  The Center for Women's History showcases approximately 45 objects from New York Historical Society's own Museum and Library collections to demonstrate how "women's work" defies categorization, has been essential to American society, and is inherently political.
