A Woman’s Place in Anarchy: Lucy E. Parsons and the Haymarket Riots
Currently on display in our pop-up exhibit cases are items relating to the life of Lucy E. Parsons, an anarchist and activist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The items in A Woman’s Place in Anarchy: Lucy E. Parsons and the Haymarket Riots have been selected for their connections to the events that occurred during Lucy’s lifetime. They cover subjects ranging from labor relations, to social expectations, and the emergence of an independent woman’s voice. They are meant to provide the context for the era of her life. Society placed harsh expectations on Lucy. She moved the boundaries of her role as wife, mother, working woman, and woman of color. Read more about the life of Lucy Parsons and explore some items from the exhibit on our blog.
Please check them out here, as I said before, all of the proceeds from these prints will go to the IWW (or another organization, if something like a strike starts up, I will make a news post if that happens)
