What was life like for women and children in 19th century Providence? Bring your daughters (and your sons!) to Lippitt Labs at Lippitt House Museum for an engaging glimpse into life in the Victorian age. Learn about the role of women, both at home and in the community, through different stations and activities planned throughout the museum. Providence Comics Consortium’s Walker Mettling and Julia Gualtieri will provide guidance for children to investigate social norms of the era by creating (with cartoons and comics) their own 21st century “etiquette manual.” Along with other activities, techniques of needlepoint will be taught, and kids will learn how Lippitt daughter Mary Lippitt Steedman helped found the local chapter of the American Red Cross in 1916, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year with a traveling exhibit!
