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? This exhibition and virtual program showcase objects from New-York Historical’s own Museum and Library collections to demonstrate how “women’s work” defies categorization, has been essential to American society, and is inherently political. Women’s work is everywhere.
