19th-Century
Women
Historian Kathleen Waters Sander will speak at 2 p.m. on

Baltimore. Sander's talk, "Not a Lady Among Us!: Those Dynamic
and Daring Women
of the 19th Century" will focus on the changing roles of American
women. She will also
look at the sense of pride women developed when they finally
pushed past society's
restricted view of "proper ladies" to become productive and
creative "working women,"
who were actively involved in important activities in their
communities and the
nation.
Sander is the author of The Business of Charity: The Women's
Exchange
Movement,1832-1900 and teaches United States history at the
University of
Maryland, College Park. In addition to the lecture, an afternoon
tea will be served at 3
