The interior architecture here is one of the show’s pleasures— open, inviting, and anything but somber. You enter with your own history in tow and if it is a burdensome one, the load is somehow lightened.

This exhibition from the Center for Women’s History showcases a diverse array of objects from New-York Historical’s own Museum and Library collections to demonstrate how “women’s work” defies categorization.
