BC Library Archives Exhibition Opening: Brooklyn College’s Female Premodernists, 1930-1980

Come to the opening of the BC Library Archives exhibition on the unsung female professors who taught the history, literature, art, and culture of the world before 1600 C.E. Learn about their research, their contributions to the college, and their triumph against sexism at a time when women faced discrimination in the academy. Learn about the history of BC’s famed Latin Greek Institute, hear from co-curators Lauren Mancia (History) and Lucas Rubin (Latin Greek Institute), have some food and drink, and celebrate what great women like Vera Lachmann, Jacqueline de Weever, Adele Bildersee, and Ethyle Wolfe gave to Brooklyn College and to the wider scholarly world.
