Explore the significant role women have played in the field of historic preservation, particularly through historic house museums. Preserving homes connected with the nation’s past allowed women to enter the public sphere through socially acceptable avenues of domesticity and patriotism. Women used their influence to fight for expanded rights and inclusion in the historical narrative. This presentation by Amanda Roper highlights key individuals, properties, and moments in the history of preservation and ends with a discussion of how the field continues to evolve.
