Your Hands Will Always Be Covered with Ink: Nuns, Widows, Mavericks and Other Passionate Printers
New Mexico History Museum
6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
A Women’s HIstory Month Lecture
Twenty years after Gutenberg invented movable type, Catholic nuns were setting type in Florence—pioneers in the history of women and publishing. They were followed by the inspiring stories of Charlotte Guillard, Anne Franklin, and Virginia Woolf, as well as the dispiriting story of U.S. women barred from working in union print shops in the 1970s.
At 6 pm on Friday, March 22, Kathleen Walkup discusses the history of women printers in a free lecture, “Your Hands Will Always Be Covered with Ink: Nuns, Widows, Mavericks and Other Passionate Printers.” Sponsored by the Press at the Palace of the Governors and the Santa Fe Book Arts Group, the lecture is free in the History Museum Auditorium.
