HPF Speaker Series: Maternalist Pullman

Join a great discussion about empowered women in a paternalist Pullman

The town of Pullman has always been described as a paternalistic place. After all, it was owned, operated and managed by men, right?

A deeper look by Laura Finnegan reveals a town almost completely run and controlled by the women of Pullman. They enjoyed unparalleled health and safety, allowing women to operate independently and exercise real economic, sexual and social power in relation to the men of Pullman.

So, don’t miss a fascinating talk about the women of Pullman and how they fit into our broader understanding of labor, sex, and community.
