(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.”

Lewisboro Library Book Group: "Erasure"
2025-02-26 19:30 - 20:30
The Lewisboro Library Book Group usually meets at the Library on the last Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m.
This month the group will be discussing Erasure, by Percival Everett. The novel is about a Black upper-class author whose novels receive academic praise, but sell poorly due to not being “Black enough.” Frustrated, he writes a deliberately offensive stereotypical novel that accidentally becomes a best-seller, sending him on a winding journey of identity, grief, and defining Blackness, blurring the lines between satire and reality. In 2023 Erasure was made into a film and renamed American Fiction. It won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Books are available through the Westchester Library System and copies are often ordered in advance for members to pick up at the Library. New members are always welcome in this adult, co-ed book group. For more information contact Myrna or Steve Shomstein at (914) 533-2550.

Afternoon Film Series: "Wicked"
2025-02-24 13:00 - 16:00

Wicked is the first installment of a two-part film adaptation of the stage musical by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, which is loosely based on the 1995 novel, in turn based on the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. The film tells the story of a young woman named Elphaba, who is misunderstood because of her green skin and forges an unlikely but profound friendship with Glinda, a student with an unflinching desire for popularity. Following an encounter with the Wizard of Oz, their relationship soon reaches a crossroad as their lives begin to take very different paths.
