On Land and On Sea: A Talk with the Author

As the author of On Land and On Sea: A Century of Women in the Rosenfeld Collection, the book upon which CBMM's newest exhibition is based, University of Delaware Rosenberg Professor Emeritus of Sociology Margaret Andersen Rosenfeld will discuss what inspired her book—a panorama of women’s lives over the course of the 20th century, as viewed through the Rosenfeld Collection. The Rosenfeld Collection, famed for its collection of maritime photography and now owned by Mystic Seaport Museum, includes close to one million images, many of which tell different stories about 20th century social history. This lecture is part of CBMM's Fall Speaker Series, with additional lectures on Oct. 16, Oct. 23, Nov. 6, and Nov. 13.
