History Alumna Contributes to Suffrage-Era Feminism Exhibit
Opening January 10, 2026, Feminist Revolutions debuts at the Alice Paul Center for Gender Justice during Alice Paul’s Birthday Celebration. The temporary exhibit, which includes research and curatorial contributions from Olivia Errico, History MA alum, examines how ideas about equality have been contested and revised over time, particularly in response to women’s exclusion from the nation’s founding promises.
Errico’s work on the exhibit draws on historical research to situate feminist organizing across distinct political and social moments rather than as a single, continuous movement. Feminist Revolutions traces how activists have responded to the limitations of early definitions of equality and how those responses have taken different forms across generations, prompting visitors to consider both continuity and change.
The exhibit features original copies of The Suffragist, the National Woman’s Party magazine; issues of The Second Wave, a feminist publication from the 1970s; banners from the 2017 Women’s March; and a newly commissioned artwork by visiting artist Marlaina Schiman. Feminist Revolutions will remain on view through December 2026.
