Girls are historic agents of change in Smithsonian-produced exhibition coming to Cincinnati
少女时代(很复杂) 打开10月. 14日在辛辛那提博物馆中心
辛辛那提——美国建国131年来, the Constitution considered women political spectators – until the ratification of the 19th 1920年8月18日修正案. But just because women couldn’t vote, didn’t mean they didn’t have a voice. A new exhibition coming to Cincinnati Museum Center (CMC) explores how girls, who have been constitutionally excluded or too young to vote, have raised their voices to impact change throughout history.
少女时代(很复杂) explores the diversity of girls’ experiences over more than 200 years of American history and through approximately 200 objects from the Smithsonian. Girls’ voices are at the forefront of the exhibition, which provides a fresh perspective to understand women’s history and our shared American experience. 少女时代 reflects the strength and resilience of girls throughout our country’s history. 
“少女时代 正确地将女孩定位为变革的推动者, standing up and speaking out to shape the world around us,伊丽莎白·皮尔斯说, 总统 & 辛辛那提博物馆中心首席执行官. “The exhibition invites much-needed dialogue about society’s expectations of our youth and serves as a lens for our today and our tomorrow. In reconsidering our nation’s history through the eyes and lives of young women, we can inspire a more equitable and empathetic future for everyone, 从一开始.”
The definition of girlhood has changed and continues to change over time. 少女时代(很复杂) looks at several factors that influence girlhood and how it is defined across social, 经济和种族群体. The exhibition explores how girls have changed history in five areas: news and politics, 教育, 工作, 健康与时尚. 这样做时， 少女时代 tells the stories of young women including Minnijean Brown, who walked alongside eight other Black students to desegregate Little Rock’s Central High School as one of the Little Rock Nine, 娜奥米·瓦德勒, who led the 2018 March for Our Lives rally in Washington, DC. It also introduces skateboarder Cindy Whitehead 和 impact of Title IX on girls’ athletics, and Veronica Mendez and how coming of age ceremonies like quinceañeras can be an opportunity to challenge societal expectations.
Pulling from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History collections, 少女时代 includes incredible artifacts spanning two centuries. A makeup table from 1820 and a 1900s gym suit are featured alongside a 1958 dress worn by Brown, as well as Wadler’s yellow knit scarf that features so prominently in photos of her speaking at the March for Our Lives rally in 2018. Among the exhibition’s historic videos are footage of student-led school walkouts and a compilation of U.S. government-produced sex 教育 films from 1919 to 1957. The exhibition design is inspired by magazines and zines (self-published magazines) that have been written for and by girls. It features murals and illustrations by artist Krystal Quiles based on historic photos.
CMC is also featuring stories and information from local organizations to provide a regional perspective on girlhood and a library of resources for guests before, 在他们网上赌搏网站十大排行期间和之后.
