Women in the Nixon Administration: Defining Simple Justice

Lecturer: Yi Shun Lai, MFA

In 1969, during President Richard Nixon’s second press conference as president, journalist Vera Glazer asked if he was planning on doing better than appointing thee women per 200 high-level Cabinet and policy-making appointments he’d made thus far in his administration.
This question, set against the backdrop of Betty Friedan’s Feminine Mystique and the formation of the National Organization for Women, would give rise to a task force that would eventually more than triple the number of women hired into significant positions in Nixon’s administration, and give rise to the first female FBI agents and generals.
Yi Shun Lai wrote the Nixon Foundation and Presidential Library’s most recent permanent exhibit about the task force leading to these results, which was colloquially referred to as “A Matter of Simple Justice.” In this talk, she’ll share what she learned over her deep dive into the project. Attendees will learn about the “Women’s Program,” and get a rare view of what it’s like to put together a museum exhibit.

This lecture will be presented online,  offered to registered guests at 1pm ET.

Space is limited—make your reservations today online here or call 585.279.7490.

Reopening Our Doors to the Public!

ROCHESTER, NY- The National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House announced today that it will reopen its doors to the public for tours on July 1, 2020.

“In line with New York State Phase 4 Guidelines for historical sites, the Anthony Museum is pleased to announce it will reopen to the public for tours on July 1, 2020,” said Deborah L. Hughes, President & CEO.

“In following New York State guidelines, the Anthony Museum is working to ensure appropriate public health and physical distancing measures are put in place for the safety of our staff, volunteers, and visitors,” Hughes said. “We are pleased to be able to offer tours in this historic year, and know that online advance sales of tours will be an important part of facilitating this.”

In addition to the advance online sales of admission tickets, safety measures will include appropriate queue management, one-way traffic flow, and increased cleaning of facilities, as well as an introduction of hand sanitizer stations. Certain areas of the National Historic Landmark home and its Visitor Center will be off-limits to guests because of narrow spaces that make safe physical distancing impossible.

The Anthony Museum will continue to follow and review up-to-date recommendations from New York State, and will modify reopening plans if necessary.

Advance online reservations will be available to book starting June 30. Please note that the Anthony Museum will be closed on July 4th in observance of the July 4th holiday.
