Tour | Lower Manhattan Tour


It is here, as much as anywhere, where American history started. It's where the first US Congress assembled and produced the Bill of Rights and where President George Washington took his first oath of office. It's here where the world's most important stock exchange and one of the most famous bridges stand. And it is here where an unspeakable tragedy took place and where a rebirth is underway.

Lecture | The Women Who Grow Up: Feminism in the Works of James Barrie


James Barrie (1860-1937) is known today, if at all, as the creator of Peter Pan, the boy who didn't want to grow up. Yet, he wrote many other works that were so successful with the public that he has been described as “the Andrew Lloyd Webber” of Edwardian theatre in London. He had six major plays produced in London's West End, and produced uncountable shorter works of drama, fiction, and journalism. And he was a feminist, from his earliest surviving works until the end of his life. The prime of his career, roughly 1900-1914, coincided with British women’s bitter and often violent struggle for the right to vote and other rights. The female characters in all of Barrie’s plays are presented as responsible, intelligent, vibrant — and adult — human beings. In this presentation, speaker Cheryl Payer considers four of his short plays that most directly express his feminism: The Twelve-Pound Look, about a trophy wife who decides to become self-supporting; The Ladies’ Shakespeare, in which Barrie revised The Taming of the Shrew to reveal that it was Kate who was manipulating Petrucchio all along; The Fatal Typist, in which he made fun of gendered body language, and The Little Policemen, puncturing sexist slanders against the suffragettes.

Tour | Greenwich Village Neighborhood Tour


Greenwich Village is among Manhattan's most desirable and expensive residential neighborhoods. It's history, however, betrays it's monied status. The Village, with it's quiet, shaded streets, lined with lovely brick and brownstone townhouses, was once the incubating ground of artistic, social and political movements that have helped shape US history. From the Beats to the Folk Movement, from workers rights to gay rights, the Village has often been the center of it all.
