SUMMARY:Real Housewives in the Age of Betty Friedan with Marie Bostwick
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Harbor History Museum for an author talk and book signing with Marie Bostwick\, in conversation with Allyson Howard\, owner of Invitation Bookshop. RSVP required. \nAfter the talk\, you are welcome to explore the Harbor History Museum’s new exhibit The Hostess with the Mostess: Making Much with What’s at Hand. This exhibit was inspired by a collection of aprons from the late Helen Neilsen Johnson Bates and grew in to an inspiring journey of women accomplishing remarkable things through the art of entertaining in the 1950s. From feed sack aprons to feeding family and friends\, the art of entertaining is at the fore with this new\, fun exhibit. This exhibit looks at both old world influences and the new world of women working and affecting community change. \nThe Harbor History Museum is located at 4121 Harborview Dr\, Gig Harbor.

SUMMARY:Women on Board: Stories from Trailblazing Fisherwomen
DESCRIPTION:Until the 1970s\, women on board fishing boats were virtually unheard of. Superstitions held that women brought bad luck\, caused unrest among the crew\, and were generally not capable of working the long days on board. A handful of young Gig Harbor women changed all that. Some worked their fathers’ boats\, others worked alongside their husbands. Still others broke the mold and ran their own boats. The Shenandoah at the Harbor History Museum was one boat where women defied superstition and worked on board\, but it wasn’t always easy.\nJoin us for a lively discussion with three Gig Harbor women fishers who were the ground breakers of their time. Bunky Janovich crewed on board the Shenandoah. Laurie Dahl Isacson worked as cook and crew on the Pacific Maid\, and Debbi Ross worked on both a purse seiner and a halibut long liner. Their stories of life on board will surprise and amaze!\nAdmission is FREE for Members and $5 Non-Members. This talk will be IN PERSON at the museum.
