Event Details

Women’s rights remain relevant and timely in light of the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and commemoration of the Women’s Suffrage Centennial.

Regional History and Genealogy invites you to join us for a unique virtual panel with history and communication scholars Katherine Sturdevant, Stephen Collins, and Regina Lewis. Our panelists will share their interpretation and analyses of the messages, meanings, and influences of mid-20th-century advertising on American domestic and economic culture, as represented in national and local advertising.

A link to the virtual program will be sent to registrants prior to the event.
