Toast to the women who broke the mold of history! Travel back in time and immerse in the rich history of the 19th century and the critical role that women played by merging style and substance into social power during this transformative period. During this in-person event you will learn about many powerful women throughout history and how they impacted our nation, all while getting to taste through the next revolution of handcrafted American Spirits.
Together with the Massachusetts Historical Society, we will delve into remarkable stories about strong women in the early 1800s breaking barriers and their “parlor politics.” Catherine Allgor, President of the Massachusetts Historical Society, will share her extensive knowledge of the early development of political society and how women in political families were able to utilize their relationships unofficially in order to assist in the creation of the United States of America.
As you immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the era, Founder of Boston Harbor Distillery, Rhonda Kallman, will take you through Boston Harbor Distillery’s history and sip along with you through their handcrafted American Spirits. As a pioneering woman in the spirits industry, Rhonda has worked hard in this male-dominated industry and garnered great satisfaction from helping Boston Harbor Distillery grow and become a significant part of Boston’s history.
Catherine and Rhonda both are taking strides to break their own barriers just like the women of the 1800s and look forward in celebrating with you and GBH the intersection of Women’s History and the Future of Women in Boston.
