Behind the Archives Door: Thursday, 9/10, 4 p.m., featuring Tiffany MacBain, Associate Professor of English, ‘I was cut out for the wilds’: The Landscape of Gender in the Journals of Abby Williams Hill

Join us for a look into the ongoing research of Tiffany MacBain, Associate Professor of English, as she draws on the Abby Williams Hill collection in the Archives & Special Collections. Many know 19th-century Tacoma local Abby Williams Hill as a painter of landscapes, but her journals reveal a woman anything but genteel. In the wilds, Hill enacts her project of gender critique and revision, and urges others to follow suit. Light refreshments will be served.
