Author Talk: Michael Garber, "Songs She Wrote"
2025-03-16 15:00 - 16:00
In honor of Women’s History Month, local author Michael Garber is doing a presentation based on his new book Songs She Wrote: Forty Hits by Pioneering Women of Popular Music.

In Songs She Wrote, Michael Garber celebrates women’s contributions to popular music by looking at dozens of well- known figures like Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee, and Dorothy Parker as well as unearthing more unknown women who made major contributions. The book explores the style and artistry of female songwriters, lyricists, and composers in the first half of the twentieth century and provides intriguing backstories and analysis of forty hits. Learn about Maria Grever (“What a Difference a Day Made”) who was the first female Mexican composer to achieve international acclaim and the fascinating story of African American lyricist Lucy Fletcher (“Sugar Blues”), among many others in the book.

Women in the popular music business went through struggles different from their male colleagues, making their triumphs all the more impressive. These individual and diverse sagas combine to convey an epic tale about women songwriters in the world of American popular music.

Michael G. Garber is an internationally respected historian of Tin Pan Alley and the American musical on stage and screen. He is an award-winning college teacher and has been a research fellow of the University of Winchester and the University of London, Goldsmiths College. He is also the author of My Melancholy Baby: The First Ballads of the Great American Songbook, 1902-1913.

(Virtual) "Women's Work"
2025-03-08 15:00 - 16:00
Via Zoom. Presented by the New York Historical, in celebration of Women’s History Month.
What is “women’s work?” How have broad trends in American economic, legal, and political history encouraged women to take certain jobs and restricted them from “men’s work?” How have race, ethnicity, social class, legal status, sexual orientation, and gender presentation impacted these distinctions?
The Center for Women’s History showcases approximately 45 objects from New York Historical’s own Museum and Library collections to demonstrate how ‘women’s work’ defies categorization. The items range from a 19th-century mahogany cradle to a 20th-century doctor’s dissection kit to a pinback button with the message “Shirley Chisholm for President.”
