Come with us to peak Gilded Age America! We’ll watch a charmingly unconventional love story unfold, cure yellow fever, stare at some incredible wallpaper, and explore fascinating reasons why women should NOT vote.
Katie takes us on location to Ethel Gibson Allen’s Boston mansion, now the Gibson House Museum.
Learn more about Ethel Gibson Allen and the Gibson House museum here. Find resources about the anti-suffrage movement in the US at the Library of Congress and the sheet music for the Anti-Suffrage Rose (as performed for us by Natalie Thompson) is available here.
