Seymour Public Library to host program on Gilded Age from the Grounded Goodwife

The Grounded Goodwife 

SEYMOUR - Join Ehris and Velya, the Grounded Goodwife duo, at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 9 for a very interesting Zoom presentation hosted by Seymour Public Library.

DUE TO CONTENT SUITABLE FOR AGES18+, NOT FOR THE FAINT AT HEART!

The Not-So-Golden Life of the Gilded Age Wife is herstory unsanitized.

Herstory helps us understand each other by honoring our foremothers’ journeys. 

This presentation isn’t about bustles or butlers – audiences will laugh and grimace about the little-known issues faced by women of America’s Gilded Age. Perhaps women need to be reminded of how far we’ve come to see how far we still can go.
