Museum Lecture: Death by Petticoat and Other History Myths About Women

12:00-1:00

Free, drop-in.

History myths percolate through most American museums, national parks, historic sites, and walking tours. A majority of them pertain to the fairer sex. Where do they come from, and why are they so appealing? Which myths have you heard? Which ones would you most like to banish? Join Mary Theobald, author of the book Death by Petticoat, as she tries to separate myth and half-truth from reality.
