Location
Alexander Ramsey House | Saint Paul, MN
It’s easy to stereotype the Victorians as prim, polite, and prudish, living in a strictly-gendered and rigidly hierarchical society. But every age has its countercultures, nonconformists, radicals, and iconoclasts. We’ll explore the forgotten individuals and subcultures who defied the mainstream norms of Victorian society, including same-sex couples, gender nonconformists, utopian communes, radical feminists, “free love” advocates, and many others who prove that the world of the late 19th century was far more diverse and complex than we often remember.This program is recommended for ages 18 and up.
