Quaker Women
Remember the Quaker Women. The society of friends from early seventeenth century who used to have the most progressive about women. Their efforts later in the nineteenth century gave birth to the women’s rights movement. It has been over hundred years since those plain dresses of were worn. But Clinton County History Centre is bringing in that seventeenth touch by organizing a clothing exhibition.
More than forty one designer dresses will be displayed in this show. Ladies that time commonly wore plain gown, fichu or neck chief, day cap and bonnet with shawl. All these different clothing items are in the exhibition.
Contrary to what most people thick, Quaker Women did not have any strict uniform. Plain Quaker was the most popular, but there were other styles as well. The style of plain Quaker also changed over time. Red was the most popular color. Brown, Grey, Olive Green and many other dark colours were also popular. Enjoy this exhibition of colour and style rest of this fall and winter.
