- A history of women in 101 objects / by Hirsch, Annabelle,1986-author.; Updegraff, Eleanor,translator.; translation of:Hirsch, Annabelle.Die dinge. Eine geschichte der frauen in 100 objekten.English.;
- Includes bibliographical references.The way we remember the past today remains dishearteningly patriarchal: a place where women have always been oppressed by men, from ancient times to the present day. 'A History of Women in 101 Objects' tells a new story of female history, revealing the evolution of the role women have played in society through the quiet power of their everyday items. Open up this cabinet of curiosities and you'll find objects that have been highly esteemed-even, like the Bayeux tapestry, fought over by nations-and others that are humble and domestic. There are artefacts of women celebrated by history and of women unfairly forgotten by it; examples of female rebellion and of self-revelation; objects that are inspiring, curious, or (like radium-laced chocolate) just fundamentally ill-conceived. Through the variety and nuance in these 101 objects, Annabelle Hirsch has created a new history-teeming, unexpected, witty, and always illuminating. This overdue corrective reveals what a healed femur says about civilization, what men have to fear from hat pins, and it shows that the past has always been as complicated and fascinating as the women that peopled it.

- Originally produced by Icarus Films in 2023.79 years old and overlooked since the 1970’s, abstract artist Peter Bradley reflects on life and shares his artistic process on the cusp of his rediscovery. Despite the systemic racism of society in general and the art world in particular, Bradley built an incredible resumé before the age of 35: the first Black art dealer on Madison Avenue (at the prestigious Perls Galleries); likely the first Black abstract artist represented by a major New York gallery (André Emmerich); and curator of what is considered the first integrated modern art show in America (The DeLuxe Show). WITH PETER BRADLEY is a celebration of artmaking, resilience, and the creative contributions of Black artists to American life.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
