Researching Women and Gender at the Library: Discovering Dance Collections
Smigel, Libby
Parts
About
Drawing on the Library’s special collections on celebrated American women choreographers, dance curator Libby Smigel discusses women, politics and anti-terpsichorean prejudice from the 1930s through the 1950s. Smigel juxtaposes evidence of these women’s performance artistry with the fears found in their still-redacted Depression- and McCarthy-era FBI files.
