About this event:

Shirley Jackson was a master of the Gothic tale but she was also caught up in domesticity and child rearing.  Joan Brumberg explores women's social and economic lives in America in the 1940s and 1950s in order to capture the complicated cultural fabric of the Post War era.  This is an illustrated lecture.
