Tale of Two Cities: Pioneering Women Architects in Providence and Boston

Join Historic New England on Thursday, May 27 at 5:30 pm for an online lecture on Tale of Two Cities: Pioneering Women Architects in Providence and Boston. Despite limitations, hundreds of women across the country entered the architecture profession before being given the right to vote in 1920. Although they designed thousands of buildings, many of these trailblazing women's names are still not well known. Join Rachel Robinson, Providence Preservation Society's director of preservation, and Leigh Schoberth, Historic New England's senior preservation services manager, for an introduction to several women who practiced in Providence and Boston at the beginning of the twentieth century. Explore how Frances Henley, Margaret Burnham Geddes, Lois Lilley Howe, and Eleanor Raymond influenced architecture through innovative designs in planning, education, and sustainability.

Attendance is free, but registration is required. Visit HistoricNewEngland.org<https://my.historicnewengland.org/11338/pioneering-women> to register. Feel free to share with anyone you think would be interested in attending.
